Jeff Beck loves his '32 Ford hot rods.....and he's very good with the spanners and welder as well, not just a guitar.

John Bonham bought his T-Bucket rod off of Jeff Beck, who had imported it from the USA.

Driven by 2 policemen if I remember correctly. I think this was about the time that Moon suggested they support the battered wives' home in Chiswick. Going through a philanthropic period, I guess.

IIRC the same year Mark Burley (owner of Annabel's nightclub) part sponsored another Escrot in the Safari Rally. Went as co driver too, then promptly shat himself when exposed to race pace...driven by 1968 winning driver Robin Hillyar.

Birmingham car park '70/71?
How many foreign cars? I can spot 3 VW's and maybe a Fiat. What to you think?

Looks like it, and Renault 10? on the other side of it.

8th car to the right in the back row of the foreground patch. Next to, but smaller than the Mini. Honda N360 Pic is too early for it to be a Fiat 126.

Mini Marcos?

Yes, and notice how they have naturally left enough space between each car to get the doors open. Today's car park planners should look and learn.

You have seen the 'Classics dwarfed by moderns' thread haven't you?

The truck on the left with the box body looks like a Bedford TK and I think the chassis with the mixer behind it is a Ford D.
