Saw these in the window of a closed kebab shop on Nairn High Street a couple of weeks ago. I know fuck all about old commercials in general but thought they looked pretty impressive.

A screen grab from a 1971 cine film that was rescued from the deceased wheelie bin after the house clearance chimps binned them.



Nee naw nee naw.



I don’t fancy yours much.


Less annoying tag line.

Think those are Marmon-Herringtons. Nairn operated a trans-desert service between Damascus and Baghdad between the wars which operated again briefly in the 1950s until the inevitable border clashes made operations too hazardous and unpredictable.

Ah shit. Always sad when you have to clear a dead person's house and you have to make the difficult decisions of what to keep and what to dispose of. Worst is when the person dies with no relatives and the lot gets thrown.

Nipping down the road in the V16.

Those with no relatives or surviving partners should actually make more effort to make a proper Will. There will be nobody else to speak up for you after you've gone or second-guess what it is you would like to have happened. I have had two instances of old fellas with whom I was friendly not having done so but who had each collected hundreds of motoring history items - photos, brochures, books etc. One of them had the whole lot incinerated along with the caravan he had been living in by a well-meaning but ill-informed brother, the other had the usual house-clearance pikeys sent in by the landlord and I saw the last of his collection being trodden into the mud at a very wet Dorset Steam Rally as one of the said brigade attempted to get a few quid for it. All it would have taken is for them to have given the solicitor a phone number of somebody who would have been interested in it and they would have been duty-bound to make the call.

That boy went on to have an interesting life, I read about him in the BRM Journal. He ended up becoming a 'close protection officer' to Her Maj or something like that. He now lives in Canada.

That's quite an early use of the jam sandwich, I think Sussex were among the first but that appears to be a Cheshire unit. I'm talking about the landcrab pic by the way, not the other one!
