Its all been redeveloped round there, not exactly "gentrified" but not as built up as in the picture above.

It was demolished when they put the trams in

At least seven of them in the photo are no longer with us - Peter Collinson, Fred Emery, George Fowler, Stanley Caine, Benny Hill, Peter Beckley and John Forgham. I remember taping it on VHS one Christmas and watching the last twenty minutes with the Minis over and over again...

Didn't it belong to Innes Ireland for a while... or am I thinking of another E-Type..?

Was there ever an official reason why the Cooper S's were monotone?

Another lost pub

An apartment block for Newcastle University students has replaced it.

We can only dream of "Petrol at Old Prices"

And that's for a gallon, not those new fangled litres!!!!

Presumably just to make them look good on screen in red, white and blue.

From an episode of the 1968 ITC series 'Strange Report', Ian Ogilvy driving a '67 Mk1 850 with Austin Cooper front badge and grille...
