So, today was spent in one of those craft-village type places. whilst my Girlfriend was buying crafty-type-stuff for her growing handmade card business, I found a cracking secondhand bookshop with a great selection of old postcards. I've started collecting the ones that I find interesting - as you can imagine, "interesting" cards to me are typically from the 70s and contain car park scenes  ;D This is Pitlochry, Perth, Scotland. Not sure of a date, but I'd guess late sixties.  Nice, huh? Haven't seen a Corsair for ages! But what's that blue car, fifth car forward in the lineup?  |

THe Royal Parade and Civic Centre, Plymouth. Late sixtes?  Lots of interesting looking stuff here:  Beetles, 1300/1100's, but what's the orange saloon at the end of the first main row? |

Is the orange car an NSU Ro80 ? Hmmm, the bonnet is too square I think. Humber maybe? |

The cars on either side of the campers look like a Citroen and a Vauxhall ... maybe a Cresta ?

Hmmm, still not convinced ;D  That's the best I can do with my scanner... It's a late model Hillman Super Minx (pre Arrow series) |
