Bonnet mascot duly noted!
The irrepressible 2CV. They are really quite awful things...but it is almost impossible not to admire them.
In a way, it's a shame they are not around anymore. Probably the nearest thing to a modern day Vintage car. Always brings a smile.

How much visibility did the driver of this rig have?

Also begs the question how the cars on top and behind the cab were loaded...? _________________ Various Rootes Vehicles. |

Probably more important to know how they are unloaded!! i expect they used ramps after disconnecting the rear trailer with the other two cars on. _________________ 1938 Morris 8 Ser II Coupe Utility (Pickup)

Ray, may I respectively disagree about 'really quite awful things'. For those who appreciate good design (by which I mean engineering, not 'styling') they are a masterpiece.
Unlike VW Beetle's which are an abomination!

I would say it is impossible to tell from that angle. |

I have now found a caption saying it was the occasion of a driving test failure in 1958 so I think that still keeps it on the cusp, unless it was Pre-October. _________________ Bristols should always come in pairs.

Can anybody hazard an ID and date for the M/bikes?
The cyclist appears to be an AA patrol so it must be post 1905.

I would guess before the 1920s.
Not many would recognise it now but that is the Waggon and Horses at Beckhampton. (1669)

Motorcycles are not my strong point, but I think the machine in the centre of the photo is a single-cylinder Triumph circa 1911-12. _________________ in the garage: 1938 Talbot Ten Airline
