As an aside, I know it's OT and it's a response to content that might be considered OT, but I must remark that the railway stuff you post is fascinating to me. And I have zero knowledge of it myself. Heaton, Newcastle in December 1975, photo c/o Trevor Ermel....
(The Deltic is 55 013 'The Black Watch' if anyone's interested
)I do hope you'll keep it up.
Thank you and have a great weekend.
Edit: I completely forgot why I was responding to the post...
I believe the Anglia was my Mum's car. One of the selection I learned to drive in. In fact I think it is the car I failed my first test in.
It's not a great picture but it seems to be still wearing the trailer hitch I made for it from a recycled bed frame.
As I recall Dad went away to a job in Geordie land in it for a week and I never saw it again - he came home in an Escort Mexico.
Weird...I'm almost 100% that was Mum's Anglebox.

Capri Ghia for me please. Cheers mate.
(I know they were awful but they're still one of the best looking things Ford ever did).
I'd take it

Judging purely from the picture, but a good thing too. I was born 5 minutes from there, in Stobhill hospital, lived in a brand new tower block, which later became even worse than that pic and was demolished (Sighthill flats in springburn)

I remember on here many years ago a picture of a striped down Maserati that included the use of orange boxes in the construction of the dashboard!Ettore Maserati about to leave the factory for a spin in what looks like a Tipo 26 in the '20s....
(Some Maserati books or magazine articles say there were six brothers but there were actually seven, the first Alfieri was born in 1885 but died in infancy and another brother was named after him in 1887, the others were Carlo b.1881, Bindo b.1883, Mario b.1890, Ettore b.1894 and Ernesto b.1898).
I think this is Ernesto Maserati standing next to an early OSCA in the brother's new factory in 1948, a year after their consultancy contract with the Orsi family who bought Maserati in 1937 had expired....

You can tell he's just bought a Biturbo, can't you? Ettore Maserati about to leave the factory for a spin in what looks like a Tipo 26 in the '20s....
