'73 fuel crisis...

Blue '69 Charger in the distance, could be a R/T with the black rear panel

The owner of the little cream Toyota must have been feeling pretty smug.

For those us around in the late 70's Custom Car era this should raise a smile.....

The L plate made me giggle as well.

The handling must of been atrocious , gearing alteration was pretty radical too making the blistering 0-60 even more shameful no doubt , Great Pic

Reversing & three point turns must have been a nightmare.
Imagine all the instructors faces when this appeared outside the test centre.

Parkeston Quay, 1977...

Lots of new Fords (including Granada Coupes), but also a Renault 16 sneaking into shot (between the pillar and the building to left).

I am sure it is French - the wheels and bodystyle are a give away. My feeling is its one of the last De Dion Boutons (they went out of businss in 1932) and that is the script on the radiator.

Wot no thanks from Milkyway on Pickstock's success?

Sorry... I have sacked my PA.

Plus a Maxi and a Dolomite, but what is that van? Not a Thames or Bedford CA as far as I can see?

Looks like a J4 of some description.

What's the red car parked behind the wall (mostly hidden by the pedestrian)?

Wing shape suggests a square headlamp surround so Mk1 Escort?
