Part 5 of Original Photos of British Cars 1950s - 1960s sees a further collection of original B&W (plus a few colour) images of British-built cars, as seen in the 1950s/1960s era.
While modern-day photos of surviving cars in preservation are interesting of course, nothing beats seeing these vehicles when they were still a common sight on British roads. Plus you get to see the fashions of the day, the street furniture of yesterday (eg signs, street lamps etc), and get a truer sense of what it was like to own and drive these cars when they were current, a time when in-car heaters were often an optional extra-cost option, and passenger sunvisors were standard equipment on Deluxe models only.
Thanks to the passage of time, all these cars are now categorised as Classic Cars, and would be welcomed with open arms at old-car shows the length and breadth of the country.
Perhaps you own one of these cars now, or did in the past? Either way it'd be neat to read your comments. Hopefully the contents of this classic car video will be of interest - Likes, Comments & Subs welcomed as always.
This vid contains photo(s) of many British cars of yesteryear, including the Austin Mini, Hillman Minx, Bond Minicar, Ford E83W van, Humber Hawk, Ford Anglia 105E, Standard Vanguard, Jaguar E-Type, Ford Cortina, Jaguar Mk10, Ford 100E Prefect, and many others.
Thanks to viewers of previous entries in this 1950s - 1960s car series (this is part 5) who kindly supplied several of the photos that have been included in this upload. I've also received a number of photos that will be used in future collections. If you have similar old car photos taken in the 1970s or earlier, and would be willing to see them feature in a future upload, please drop me a line at [email protected], thanks.
