The design of skips hasn't changed much has it?

I wonder when that design of skip was introduced? There's bound to be a skip expert on here, like that chap who was an expert on lamp-posts.

Those of a certain age will recognise this as the original design for a skip

I found this. Apparently our beloved skip is a German innovation.

Maybe they are actors.

I've never seen a Targa Florio on wheels with BMW hubcaps before (only wire wheels or Dunlop alloys).
But they are original on the car, so maybe they were chosen by Errol Flynn.

The poster of that pic doesn't know the background of it either from his comment.

Yet another classics forum impossible conundrum ?

I think it might be, I know someone who will know for sure, I'll pick his brains later.

I suppose this is as good a place to post this as any other...

Major error in that old article, with the reference to the Mini's pushing the black 6/110's off the road, as the black 6/110's and S-Type's of the era were Area Cars, not Traffic Div (white cars)

Seeing those toys takes me back, way back. I had many of these cars shown. Corgis were the first models with windows I seem to remember.
