Blue fibreglass invalid carriages.

Ah yes......I remember the spaz chariots or  as we used to call them at school. Always light blue in colour. :y


When I was a kid in South London there was a small lockup that used to service/repair them it was owned by a disabled fellow who actually drove a huge Cadillac Eldorado .
