Mr Standfast Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Nice place, somewhere near Banbury? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 (edited) Thame is my guess, but there's no Spread Eagle. Mini, Austin Cambridge and 1100, Rover P4/75, Morris Minor (are there two black ones or are they the same car?), etc. The two-tone brown job rings a bell, I'm sure I've seen one on TPTV recently with Adam Faith or somebody getting out of it. Hunt Edmunds is a Banbury brewery though. If we can have a bigger crop of the two pub names.......... Edited June 3, 2020 by spacecadet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Standfast Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Maybe a Sunbeam Rapier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geogphotos Posted June 3, 2020 Author Share Posted June 3, 2020 (edited) Top one is Stow-on-the-Wold, the other one is Burford. I love the parking in Burford, the Morris virtually running its tyres against the pavement and the next car about 6 ft from the curb. The guy in shorts holding a bike is eating an ice cream bottom end first which I thought was still illegal in 1963.

John Mitchell Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 (edited) Way back when, I owned an MG Midget, a Mini Cooper S, and a Hillman Minx (not all at the same time fortunately). They were a pain in the you-know-what mechanically. Also, they were totally unsuitable for the frigid Montreal winters. However, I liked all of them. I tried to drive the Hillman from Montreal to Vancouver in the early 70's, and the engine literally blew up just east of Calgary. I ended up leaving it by the side of the Trans-Canada Highway and hitchhiking the rest of the way. Edited June 3, 2020 by John Mitchell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geogphotos Posted June 4, 2020 Author Share Posted June 4, 2020 How about this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Standfast Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 One of the many Rover P4 variations. I think the chap is pointing to a hilly hairpin bend and suggesting that would be a good place for the lady to get out and push.... 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Harrison Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 A P5 I think, you could buy one here: https://www.classiccarsforsale.co.uk/rover/p5/aetv92648711 Someone's gone to a bit of trouble to set that one up, looks like a bit of an advertising shot, or perhaps they're just very proud of it.

spacecadet Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 I'd take a punt(!) at Wastwater, here, https://www.google.com/maps/place/Seascale/@54.4362659,-3.3136863,600m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m13!1m7!3m6!1s0x487cc905c9a585eb:0x36a98c0187a52db!2sWast+Water!3b1!8m2!3d54.4428259!4d-3.2920175!3m4!1s0x487cc97445cf9d31:0xda0c20fde59d23bb!8m2!3d54.4362628!4d-3.3114922 looking towards the Wasdale Screes opposite.

Good work - Wast Water is written on the slide! Very clever to work that one out Sorry I should have been more clear that it was the car that I was stuck on. Anyway, it helps keeps you in practice😊 Edited June 4, 2020 by geogphotos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, it helps keeps you in practice😊 We walked round Wastwater, and over the screes, some years ago. It's very steep-sided there and very bouldery. Also, I got lucky. Yes, it's a bit of a larf.

Allan Bell Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Hope you didn't walk on the screes. Could end up in the lake. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mitchell Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 (edited) I found my Hillman Minx! Same model, same colour. I miss that little car. I should have treated her better. 😢 Edited June 4, 2020 by John Mitchell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
