Some more nice period shots from London, taken from this great 1970 Pathe Film:-

Brilliant mab, could look at that stuff all day long!

Quite a free for all going on in amongst the traffic and all those FX4 Austin taxis look very swish with blacked out rear screens (Shadolite glass..?) and raised digits white on black number plates. Hardly any vehicles with the new-fangled reflective yellow and white plates too.

Those lovely London buses in the last pic make it for me. Just prior to the Routemasters I'd guess.

I know it’s not quite what this threads about but I spotted
this nice bit of grafitti out and about today....

[WMU 211G]

Following through all the links from those clips you'll find loads of stuff on London in the '60s, Carnaby Street, the Beatles Apple boutique, John Lennon's psychedelic Rolls, etc. Great stuff.

This period Pathe 1966 'Come to London' film also includes the colour footage of Britt Ekland's Birthday cake revealing a Radford Mini....

Britain was great in those days
Pity it's turned to shite
Why the F..k did we let it happen?

Only saying today, we had the best years.

Off topic Kees but...... Delft. We used to get a LOT of night vision kit from Delft called Oude-de-Delft. Good quality stuff.
