How about a 'period' classics pictures thread

[P5BNij]

Memories indeed - I had the Mini, Isetta bubble, Volvo P1800 car and Triumph Herald, I was also very jealous of my cousin having many more of those in the ad. What's the metallic green car just to the left of the hovercraft..?

Renault Caravelle I think.

Thanks - it looks very similar to the Volvo P1800 next to it, from that angle at least.

What an engaging set of models. So tempting to try and recreate the scene.

Never seen the white 'surrey topped' taxi in the flesh but I've owned most of the others and I can count the Ecurie Ecosse transporter (sadly with only the Lotus left from the set) - mine still has the vice in the workshop though - amongst my survivors along with the 400e Caravanette, P1800, Heinkel and the ERF bulk carrier.

Ah, the Jag Mark Ten with its pieces of luggage, which also opened! I had that but soon lost the luggage.

I always used to pull the tyres off for some reason ...

Probably ate them or something ...

Starting to scan my father's rather large collection of slides and negatives, I expect there will be quite a few vehicles amongst them although they weren't a specific interest of his.

Start with a truck that I can't identify, taken in Austria I think, late 1950's or early 1960's perhaps?

My guess is an Austrian Saurer.

Anyone know where in West Lulworth this was taken? I'm going to take a punt that its not actually changed that much since.

It looks like a Saurer. They were based in Arbon, Switzerland. There's a good museum there

I'd never seen (or heard) of 'Vichy Celestins' before - turns out it's a Spa mineral water outfit. Wonder how they lost out to Perrier in the decades after (unless all bottled waters are from one tap and it's all a branding exercise thereon - who knows?).

- superb range of colours there. The land crab almost looks well proprtioned from that angle.

Any foreigners there, apart from the Opel Kadett ?
