British Motor Cars - Sunday Stamps

As many people (not me) go out for a drive on Sundays I thought I would show cars for this week's open theme.

British Motor Cars FDC - 13 Oct 1982
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:

  • 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.
