That is absolutely great Andy seeing those transport scenes of my childhood again, which I didn't see around Gloucester but were true of most major towns of the South-East. :y :y Just a pity that I am old enough to remember it all!!! ::) ::) ::) ::)
All those great commercial and private vehicles is of great interest, but of particular note was a transporter full of brand new Farina bodied A40's, one of which I owned in 1971, another transporter full of the then revolutionary 'Neopolitans', and also many Austin A35's, Minor Minor's (split screen), Vauxhall Vanguard's, Humber Hawk's, Riley's, Ford Prefect's / Anglia's, Consul's and many others!! :D :D :D :D :D Bloody fantastic! :y :y :y :y :y :y :y :y
So good indeed I have now saved this video! :y

Probably Andy, but sometimes age gets the better of me, and anyway I loved those ice cream blocks by Walls in the 1950s/60s!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;)
