Two very nice classic cars some where in the Netherlands

Can you tell the area where a car lives by the letters or numbers in the registration number in Holland?

That Opel Kapitain must come from that place in Amsterdam with all the red lights.

Registrations are random, there are no registration regions in the Netherlands ( anymore ).

Seen on TMF, apparently discovered in some old cycling memorabilia......anyone know more about Harry Hall Cycles of Manchester?

Harry Hall Cycles are still going strong:

Whether there is anyone there that can remember that photo or pick-up might be unlikely. That could be Harry Hall himself?

From 'About us' - 'History' tab in your link:-
1962-1976
"Harry, and the shop, became famous for providing probably the UK's first neutral service vehicle. Between 62 - 76 Harry provided a free race service to most top UK and local events.
A friend and rider of the era said 'it was a great feeling, if you looked behind you and saw Harry & the van, you knew you'd made it!'
The little minis proved to be a reliable vehicle for the task. We ran 3 Mini's over this period, the latter two being performance modified to keep up with the pace the riders were now setting."

The famous Irish driver Tim O'Makinen.

CHAAAAARGE!

The famous Irish Le Mans driver in 1964



And his car being loaded up for the 1965 trip

Just think, practically all of these have been scrapped and turned into Nissans.

Seneffe where Minis, Allegros and Princesses were built for Europe.
