That was 1980! Last train from London was on the 'Discovery' album from 1979. The GXL is still around, returned to its correct Maize yellow.

So what is this, is it some sort of Sunbeam Rapier competitor?
I had seen it before but predictably forgot all the details.....


Oddly enough the first "similar" google image result was an Arrow Rapier!

Edit - it seems wanky flickr won't play - google Bodycraft Cortina Lew Brandt instead. Fucking picture host parasites.

Is it a food vending vehicle, if not why is there a giant microwave oven built into the middle?

Wonder if that giant stack, despite the Cambridge, isn't in Germany. Several clues - many Opel/VW carcasses, no number plates and finally I can't imagine any self-respecting scrappy in Sixties England wearing a hard hat.....

These are fantastic images, though. I love the Lincs-registered 100E with it's racing stripe. Almost the last thing that ever happened to car back then was the addition of a hand-painted racing stripe - it was almost like being marked for death.

No self respecting scrappie would have wasted a good competition car either.

The A60 was scrapped in Denmark, once a big market for BMC.

Have a Foden and some 1100’s.

Foolishly bought this new and only kept it for a year. It lasted a further 6 with its next owners then the floor was rotted out and it was scrapped still looking immaculate on the outside. I paid extra for it to be 'Ziebarted', the garage must have thought I said 'Marmited'.
