The large orange and white enamel 'totem' sign on the station canopy would be worth more than some of those cars now ;)

Great pic that!

I'm afraid I do.....
And what about the girls equivalent of "Willing Shilling"? I don't think that would be considered appropriate now would it? :lol:

A lovely bit of footage shot in the Kings Road in July '67, loads of Minis, a bright yellow Moke, a Series 2 Maserati Sebring and Sammy Davis Jnr makes a brief appearance....

This was made and done by an artist in the 80th in the Netherlands. It's an 1969 Mini Moke, gone for years now.

It does make me laugh that someone thinks putting an old car body in a butchered tree is art. Perhaps they were channelling their hidden Duchamp!

Assume its a reference to Duchamp, a conceptual artist, here is one of his creations, quite “out there” for 1913.
Imaginatively called bicycle wheel :D

EDIT wonder why he didn`t call it "Kitchen Stool" ! :lol:
