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.
Snap, I'm March 57, I do feel our generation have had the best of times in many ways. Enjoying all the cars shown in their heyday. As well as exploring car scrapyards, can't do that now like we once did due to health and safety.
@@rappers5719 Month between us then. First car I travelled in was a Morris Minor split screen pick up, when dad collected mum and myself from the local hospital when I was born. I know how to travel in style lol 😂 Thanks for the chat matey, cheers 🥂
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.
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.
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 🥂
Very enjoyable viewing. 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.
Brilliant video takes me back to my childhood, do you think the reason for the wipers being in the wrong position could be because the photos were taken when it was raining.
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. .
and... at 10:30 love the Mark I Jag, and the Rover P6 in one of the rarest colours (Wedgewood blue), and that is an SC not a TC (look at the front bumpers with no overriders).
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.
It's incredible that so many photos exist and can be seen. All power to your elbow. For me, I also enjoy seeing the people and street scenes of the times, which are historic records in their own right.

In the 50's and In Detroit 😂 not rare to see Morgan's about. The Windsor Morgan dealer was just across the river. I wish I had taken a few photos. Alas phone cameras were 50 years in the future.
This is a splendid channel and delightfully English. Keep it going.
Thanks Richard!
Great pic of that Rover Marauder, and good to know that it has survived. Another enjoyable video, thank you Richard. Cheers 🥂
With the wipers, perhaps it was raining and the wipers were all caught in their movement arc.
Another fabulous vid, not only interesting because of the cars on show but also a great reminder of the way we used to live, a great watch, Thank you.
Excellent collection once again OCC 👍👍👍
What a feast ! Well presented. Many thanks indeed.
Thanks Martanda, don't miss the previous uploads too!

Probably raining and shutter caught the action or lack of it. Thanks for the video.
I've enjoyed this series very much, takes me back to my childhood when cars looked like cars, even if the were all black and white haha.
I was born in 57 (feels like 1857 at times) and to think I've been in a lot of these cars makes me feel grateful. All the cars had character.
Snap, I'm March 57, I do feel our generation have had the best of times in many ways. Enjoying all the cars shown in their heyday. As well as exploring car scrapyards, can't do that now like we once did due to health and safety.

@@oldclassiccarUK Cheers Richard. Really enjoy your vids and pictures. They take me back to my childhood and fond memories. G.
Love your videos, thanks for posting them 👍🏻

Great interesting video brought back some memories
Glad you enjoyed it, don't miss the previous instalments for more of the same
@@oldclassiccarUK yes I’m watching now Thankyou
Re wipers in the Brighton pics, it was probably raining and the photos caught the wipers in mid wipe
At 8:58 I love the old Riley RM 'wearing' a rare set of spats!
Favourite: 10:40 Singer Gazelle (amazing condition for 14 years old!) 😁👍

That's probably the one I was thinking of, not that I've seen it in person mind!
Very interesting and nostalgic!!
Thanks, there are 13 episodes of this series so far on the channel (plus collections for lorries, and pre-war cars)
Brilliant video takes me back to my childhood, do you think the reason for the wipers being in the wrong position could be because the photos were taken when it was raining.
Agreed yes I think it was probably raining :-)
I think that is Holloway Road bridge at 2:45 that is the main line to Kings Cross station.
Ah righty, thanks MM! 👍

9:02 the Riley is a "spatted" 1-1/2 litre RME, 1954/5 the very last of the RM range.
Thanks Roger

Lovely video thank you.
3:45 is Thant no a Austin 3 liter on the left?
It's an 1800, the 3 Litre was very similar from this angle but had different rear lights.
It's incredible that so many photos exist and can be seen. All power to your elbow. For me, I also enjoy seeing the people and street scenes of the times, which are historic records in their own right.
Agreed, it's no burden going through these old photos

🚗🙂
I look at hubcaps , wheels, rear window and mirrors. They tend to give away the age of the car.
perhaps front turn signals and the side semifores.
👍👍👍 loved it!
Thank you! Cheers!
Maybe it was raining and the photos caught wipers in motion.
Yes I think that's what was happening, thanks for watching
Woollarding on the front bumper of a Morris Minor .
Yep nothing new is there!?
In the 50's and In Detroit 😂 not rare to see Morgan's about. The Windsor Morgan dealer was just across the river. I wish I had taken a few photos. Alas phone cameras were 50 years in the future.
WRL 10 is on a Lexus now....😢😢
Boooo
Do you have a direct email that I can contact you please.
Hi, dodgenut@4onthefloor.co.uk will get to me, thanks
