Im sure the bronze trunnions didnt like that treatment too much!!! On another note, did you see how fast that sidevalve pulled away from the kerb, mine does that in slow motion...........

Where is all the traffic? U turns in the middle of the road. No centre white lines, no double yellow lines .Those were the days - no I was not driving then.

What a lovely country this was...................
Nice bit of nostalga.
Sad to say there is no record of OJO 20 on the DVLA database.
Best wishes,
Mike.

I thought it was weird the cavalier attitude of pedestrians crossing the busy road. Obviously road safety was in its infancy back then.

It did not look too busy. Anyone got a photo of the same location today? Just off Euston Road, Regents Park area at a guess?
