makes you want to light up a Fag just to see if it will work.
Maybe as a good alternative.. just use a SwanVesta that will be a lot more reliable & sod the Road Safety aspect.

Late '70s outside Vivienne Westwoods shop on the Kings Road



and this one is in Dublin. I found it on this interesting site with lots of old shots of Dublin

Borgward Isabella

I thought it was at first but if you zoom in it looks wrong

How do you do THAT

It is a Cortina but I’m more interested in the truck . Commer 2 stroke? once you’ve heard one at full chat never forgotten .

Another 5 points (not pints) on offer for the dark car to the right of shot, and it's not a Hillman Minx.

We have a winner. 5 lockdown points to OEW

Like JohnA I spotted the Italian design. The Italians were ahead of us in design but not rustproofing unfortunately so nobody younger will ever have seen one - although our homegrown Morris 1100 was hardly any better was it If the prize was pints I'd share them with him I'm just enjoying a cool isolation beer right now as it happens so cheers everybody and good health . Let us hope we can all meet up at some future time.
