Spots from the past

[generally01]

I have been going through a box of family photographs and found some pictures with a decent dose of retroness and thought I would share.

First up is my dads cortina. Bought new and sold to pay for the wedding;



This was one on my dads astras. He had about 5 of the things, mostly Mk2's after this one parked beside his mates cavalier;



The rest of these are just random shots from holiday reels but packed with decent motors;











Hope you enjoyed,
Dave.

not scarbourough and whitby by any chance? looks a bit like em

[generally01]

A couple are Scarbourgh, there is one from Blackpool, one from Crail (east coast scotland) the morris minor is in the carpark beside Edinburgh airport and the astra and cavalier pic is somewhere in the lake district. For some reason the camera rarely came out at home in Glasgow.

Cool pics

I found a load of these type of pics last night as my new missus insisted on seeing pictures of me as a nipper

I don't have a scanner but i'll get em up on here somehow.

i found this picture in my parents photo album, it's my dad working on his beetle, but in the background, there's a nice Corolla Coupe!! ;D

Cool photos! I wonder what the white car about to go past the bus is? Sunbeam-Talbot 90 perhaps?

Never mind the Moggie, hows about the Caterfield (or could it even be an original Lotus?) Seven behind it?!

Oh, and as a man who was raised by Nova owners I'm also fascinated by the red GM number - don't think it's an SR so I'm going with a Swing - 1.2 special edition, mainly 84 B's, old dear had a Silver one until she rolled it.

Ah, I've just looked at the pic again as I previewed this post - that Seven type thing is on an 'S' so it ain't Lotus is it?!

That Minor's still SORDed so probably still hanging around somewhere...

A couple from the suitcase of slides left to Mrs FR by her grandad.. Croyde Bay, late 60s / early 70s...

Suitcase had been in the loft of her dad's house for nearly 20 years hence the state of the slides.
