Re: Just a nice period picture
Dead ringer for one of my teachers at middle school in the '70s...!
I've just posted this elsewhere and noticed the lovely BMC / Morris sign in the background... Piccadilly in 1965...
Soho, 15th March 1966, two tone Elf or Hornet partly obscured by the little FIAT...
Somewhere in London in '68, nice blue & white Mk1 on the left...
No, it's not Margo Ledbetter in her swinging youth but there's a nice glimpse of a '66 Mk1 Morris 850 with a dented bumper, 9th September 1968...

Watch 'Robbery' and you can see the 100 mph speedo.
I sold it in 1999/2000 to a well known restorer of Minis. It has yet to resurface however.
