As many people (not me) go out for a drive on Sundays I thought I would show cars for this week's open theme.
I obtained this from a flea market stall in Stockton-on-Tees. There is no clue about who owned it, but it has been around a bit as Bolton, Bury and Wigan are the other side of the country from Stockton. You can also see from the Oxfam sticker that it has spent some time in a charity shop.
The cars are from left to right:

| British Motor Cars FDC - 13 Oct 1982 |
The cars are from left to right:
- An Austin Seven of the 1920s above an Austin Metro
- A Model T Ford above Ford;s then new front wheel drive Escort
- A 1930s Jaguar SS100 above the iconic 1960s Jaguar XJ6
- The veteran Rolls Royce Silver Ghost and the luxurious Silver Spirit.
To see what others have chosen this week cross over to Viridian's Sunday-stamps-132.

a great cover, and a nice market find! The illustrations of the cars remind me very much of the cars series on the PG Tips teacards, which were perhaps c1970, maybe they shared an illustrator.
I barely know something about this topic: cars but I'm happy to see automobile stamps here in your page.
I don't think I have any stamp featuring automobiles.
Like the Jaguar; think you know why!
I have never found any FDC or stamps at a charity shop!
At the moment (not literally, just this weekend and every weekend) I am watching reruns of Morse (as well as the following Endeavour) partly to drool over his auto!
I have those as cards but not the stamps. I've always thought they were a lovely set.
I don't go for Sunday drives either.
Great stamps. I love the Jaguar one too, but also the Rolls.
My seven yr-old son whose beside me right now,said, "it's so cool!" :D

Time to go to the market stall and get ready for the next two weeks. :-)
Thank you for joining in.
I like the old and 'new' view. I wonder if this months classic cars stamps will look as good.
