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.
ReplyDeleteI barely know something about this topic: cars but I'm happy to see automobile stamps here in your page.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I have any stamp featuring automobiles.
Like the Jaguar; think you know why!
ReplyDeleteI have never found any FDC or stamps at a charity shop!
ReplyDeleteAt 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.
ReplyDeleteI don't go for Sunday drives either.
ReplyDeleteGreat stamps. I love the Jaguar one too, but also the Rolls.
ReplyDeleteMy 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. :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining in.
I like the old and 'new' view. I wonder if this months classic cars stamps will look as good.
