Heed the warning from 1973
 
From Earl's Court, a warning about foreign imports :D
Princess Anne was there, guess what car she had:D:D

I suddenly have a craving for a Saab :drool4::D I love watching those Earls court car shows from the 60's, It's a crying shame what happened to all those fantastic marques we had back in those days. :cool:

Loved watching these clips, if anyone has a pic of a bright purple reliant supervan I would love to see it.

It belonged to my Dad and was an ex motor show display car, sadly long gone now.

I remember being passed by a Lotus Eropa and saying "Wow! Look at that!", to which dad quipped "I thought a lorry had lost a sheet of hardboard off the back!":D


Not very politically correct were we back then! :eek:


Not much left at all from that era. Most of them incorporated so many rust traps that they literally fell off the road!:shrug: Sales of body filler must have been through the roof and you couldn't find an old newspaper because they were all under the filler! :getmecoat:
