	I recently got to scanning a whole bunch of slides we dug out at my in-laws house a couple of months ago. A fair number of them were taken in the early sixties when my father in law and his brother went touring around Europe in a 1960 Mini, as far as Spain and Italy. Then there's some of the other regular faimily/camping holiday kind of shots. Anyhow, a few of you may have already seen them but I figured others may enjoy them too. (F-i-L's PhD graduation in Southampton) My F-i-L's Riley Nine drove through this deep ford. The Austin didn't make it. Paris An Alpine pass. Their Mini being approached by a Swiss army chap. I think this is the Vatican The rest are mostly family holidays in the late '70s / early '80s This was their set up at the time. Plenty of car content for you

	Just great, well worth scanning, like a portal into a lost world. That Italian double decker has to be the coolest bus I've ever seen.

	Awesome pics! That cinzano bus is far beyond cool. Is that a volvo amazon on the left of the first of the alpine pass pics?

	Oh my days... They're great! I love it that everybody these days tries to get 'old' looking effect. Just use a film camera

	Ha! Glad you like 'em. I'd thought about send them a magazine's way but there's not really many that I reckon are decent enough to print. Better than the Cinzano bus in that photo is the Lancia Flaminia and Panhard just to the right of it! I think the car in the first pass photo is a Simca of some sort. But waaaaay cooler is the matching Plymouth/Boat combo presumably on its way too/from the Riviera with some wealthy jet-set owner. Bottom right of the hairpins photo is a Merc 190SL... I recognised Mont St Michel

	An amazing look back in time And yes, that's St. Peter's Square in the Vatican. Yes it is round... Oct 18, 2011 21:41:26 GMT autoverse said: Nice to see some old photos of Southampton in the mix. Absolutely. The former ABC Cinema is a location I know well, interesting to see that area as it used to be.

	The picture of the Austin in the ford is very printable, and the rest show how things were a few years back, so yes I can see any editor being well pleaed wth these. Must also agree the decker was a cracker.
