I haven't seen these before, so thanks for the roasted peas.
No congestion charge, very few parking restrictions, free-moving traffic... I want to live there! ;D
What's the little red sporty number parked outside Tesco?

I've changed my mind. It's a Mk1 fiesta pre production testing mule disguised as a marcos. I can tell by the Pilkington stamp on the glass.

That particular Marcos is sitting there as a promo for Green Shield Stamps - a free Marcos for every stamp book you fill.
This isn't true. Remember Green Shield Stamps, though? Ah, nostalgia...

Brilliant stuff! That really takes me back to a time of my childhood when I lived in London. London was THE place to live then and, yes, traffic wasnt a major issue, you could get wherever you wanted quick enough and park where you wanted to.
It says that they are screen caps, you can see, what I think is the ST1 Simon Templar Volvo in a couple of the shots. I'm going to assume they were screen caps from the TV series?
Some of those cars are, clearly, not that old at the time of the shots yet some of them looked shagged out already.......
EDIT: That DS is still alive.....apparently.

Super pics, but being a super sad git, I thought "wouldn't it be interesting to take down the registration numbers and put them into a database to see if any of those cars are still alive"... but I'm not going to.
