^ A desirable Vauxhall. Not many of those since the 80's.

[AMG Merc]

Not a bad shape considering the period

[DoctorX]

A little under-wheeled perhaps, but still....

Loved that suspension on one of my Minis. Used to pop into the garage once a year for a pump up and left with the car riding two inches higher

Not sure what is most impressive here, the advert with a Formula 1 driver from the first issue of Evo or how young Harry Metcalfe looks !

I think the sun and good living have taken their toll on Harry. I saw someone compare him to the actor Alastair Sim. Good call!

[AMG Merc]

Uncanny resemblance that. Now every time I watch him in A Christmas Carol (my fave version) I'll be thinking cars

My mother bought two of these brand new. Apparently they rotted to bits before the engine failed. She still says they were wonderful to drive. Seemingly she also had to have a licence for the radio fitted in them.

Thats's right, yes. In the1960s you needed One of these £1.25 radio licences.

This ins't mine. May be intersting to look up the plate, see if it still exists...
