Cars that have left an impression from your walk to school

I’ll start with these three from the 70s. Not the actual cars but as close as I could find. The cortina had a Chevy V8 and port hole rear side windows. The golf must have been new and the escort a few years old.

 

@Ermintrude would see these type of cars on her way T school

 

This used to put a smile on my face every morning

You must have lived in a posher part of town than me

 

Two more I’ve remembered . Orange Moskovitch estate and a white NSU

 

I remember the Moskovitch being very noisey and smokey.

 

I used to walk along the A59 - just a few miles from the Liverpool docks - and saw many of these wagons on the way there. Always fascinated me

 

Not this one, but one pretty much like it. An original 1966 Mini Cooper S in full racing livery belonging to our local Dr. He lived and still does,opposite the top gate of our collage. He still has this mini, and 2 yellow lotus Elans.(both P reg.).

 

You went to school in Fulham ?

 

Went to school in one of these when me dad was off but walked rest of the time ,

Neighbours dad had one a these

Everyone wanted a roller back then , chap down the hill had one .

 

sometimes Pikey used to give us a lift

 

don,t know about cars though in the early sixties going to school we would walk down the a69 newcastle to carlisle - there was a trucking firm called robsons of carlisle and they named their trucks " border " unicorn or banshee or prince for example and we would always be on the look out for them

 

How long did it take to get steam up in the boiler?
