I suddenly have a craving for a Saab 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.

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!"


Not very politically correct were we back then!


Not much left at all from that era. Most of them incorporated so many rust traps that they literally fell off the road! 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!
