    With the wipers, perhaps it was raining and the wipers were all caught in their movement arc.

    Great collection of old photos once again. The scenes in Brighton take me back. I did think for a moment that the light green MK1 Cortina may have been my Dads car but a closer look at the registration confirmed not. That would have been a real fluke as our family lived in Southampton but sometimes went to Brighton. I reckon the windscreen wiper issue was down to the fact that the sea front in winter can be very wet, not only from the rain but in parts of the sea front the sea would come over the road! Anyway thanks Rick for putting this together and to all the other folks who sent in their photos. 👍👍

    Great video Rick - that 'frilly blind' in the back of the Austin Devon was actually a continuation of the fence ! I really love these old photographs - take me straight back to my childhood. You mentioned 'Town and Country' tyres, my Dad had a Mk1 Ford Zephyr Zodiac, and he kept 2 spare wheels with Town and Country tyres on, and would swap them over as soon as the winter weather arrived. I remember the 'rumbling' noise of them on the road, while in the car ! Looking forward to part 13 and beyond. Thanks and take care 🙂

    Greetings from Ireland! Great pics,especially the Irish one! When i was a kid,British cars ruled Irish roads. My Dad drove an Austin Devon with Blue seats,semaphore indicators and a unique twin tone horn, which he then transferred to a replacement car, a Standard Companion!

    Excellent photos once again, thank you! The Cresta PC at 19:42 is especially rare being one of the single-headlamp "base" models. Most Crestas sold here were the four-headlamp De Luxe variant and it does appear that one is LHD, perhaps dating from the car's introduction in 1965.

  • @johnbewick6357
    @johnbewick6357 Год назад +1

    I suspect all the wipers look stuck because it is raining, and they are switched on. Photos are being taken from a vehicle they are all following hence many shots of the same cars at different spots along the road, and facing against the direction of travel to avoid rain on the lens.

  • @georgerogers5954
    @georgerogers5954 Год назад +2

    I would imagine that the pictures with wipers not parked is because it's raining and the wipers are in use. When the picture was taken, it froze the wipers in whatever position they were in at the time. The Rover and Jaguar certainly had self parking wipers and I'm fairly certain the Mini did too.

    My childhood and youth unfolding before my eyes, wonderful collection as always . How very few cars there were on the roads back them. OH Clip on headrests, yes, I remember then so well. Absolutely useless objects but a must have thing at the time, I recall buying some for my MK1 Cortina, pale blue seats and ridiculous black headrests.

      @peterward3965 Год назад +1

      Hi, just to say as you like the Gazelle, it was a one owner car with 25,ooo mls, in a two tone shade of blue. I really wanted to buy it as I was into my Singers with three Singers Hunters. But common sense prevailed and I had to pass.
      I still kick myself even now for not buying it as it was so original and in fabulous condition. Cheers 🥂

    I used the A1 a lot from the 60s onwards. i dont recall any railway bridge like the one wuth the Ferodo advert. That bridge reminds me of one over the North Circular in north east London.

    Great content and interest as usual.I think at 3.46, the Sunbeam ' Talbot ' is in fact , a Sunbeam Mk111 , by the time the Mk111 was introduced , Rootes had dropped the ' Talbot ' moniker .The late model having those fancy wheel trims as well as 3 air intake scoops on each front wing , as well as overdrive options , floor gear change , tachometer etc. .

    Hello. The two MM photo at 2.10 and 16.44 are both New Zealand. The plates were brown with white numbers and the separator was a star. The man with the MM at 16.44 should have been a clue. very few men around the world wore shorts at that time except in New Zealand. Cheers from NZ.
