Mini Moke from the cover of the BBC TV childrens programme - Blue Peter Annual 1967
Those old enough to remember (like me) will probably know the names of all the presenters and their dogs (and if you look closely the cat) !

That is certainly my Blue Peter era!
I have to accept that I am getting old ;-(
And yes I could name everything & everyone, apart from the Moke.

I think the Moke is BP1. I have no idea who blue potato is. Getting old is fine it's not getting old that hurts. I'm happy about every day and thankful for it. That kind of pic gets me pumped about my Moke. Steve (CTR)

BP 1 is on a Bentley Continental Convertable these days, but as Rich says above it would have been a made up plate for the Moke, good old Blue Peter

I wonder what they made the plate out of??????
(I'll set 'em up, you hit 'em!)
Apologies to our overseas members who probably have no experience of Blue Peter.
