Just browsing a facebook page called Horncastle Memories, not many of you will know where that is, but its a market town in Lincolnshire where I grew up. I was going through the pics and I just happened to save one or 2 I thought some of you might appreciate... Looks like an early celica and a thames van??  1959 French & English Sports car believed to be made in horncastle and based on an Austin 7   Mini pickup  Early bin lorry, in the days when binmen actually carried the bins and didn't moan if the lid didn't shut properly!  Humber Sceptre?  |

Looks like a Chevrolet badge on the grille of the pre-war baker's van, something around abouts '30 or '31 I reckon.

Brilliant Pics, thanks for sharing.
I know we can't see much of that Celica but it seems to have emerged quite well from that accident.

If you like REALLY old pictures (only some of them car-related): shorpy.comWARNING: This could be real time-consuming |
