Just been looking at the phots - oh the nostalgia! Been closely associated with so many of those cars!
Specially this Triumph Herald......
Me and Hubby No 1 had a Herald hardtop coupe in green and white - imo one of the prettiest cars on the road at the time, and the hardtop was fairly uncommon. It was also a dream to drive with the sweetest gearchange I've ever used - might be something to do with the 4in gearstick! And it had IRS when it was something of a novelty in cars that ordinary folks could afford. And an odd I-frame chassis with outriggers that rusted quicker than you could say 'underseal' and were VERY VERY EXPENSIVE to replace! But we loved it! And my dad loved it so he bought the saloon version... and pa-in-law loved it so he bought the Vitesse....
And I used to drive some of those old tractors - I specially remember the old Fordson TVO ones - you had to leave them running while you stopped for lunch, they would sit there rocking and chuntering away to themselves till you came back - cos if you stopped them they wouldn't start again till they were cold!
