Hi
I found these pictures in a 50's learning top drive book and thought you might like to see them and ID them.

Thanks for posting them Penman, I can't add much to what Peter S has already written (the Morris 8 tourer is a Series II). And as for that oddball coupe, parked alongside the Vanguard, I'm a bit stumped.

The drophead coupe in front of the Vanguard is a late-thirties Triumph Dolomite (the one with the waterfall radiator grille).

I've just spotted this thread. I am from Woking originally and remember when it used to look like that. My Grand dad used to work in skeet & Jeffes but I think he used to spend his spare time in the Red House; I know my Dad was a regular there! I think the Red House is still there but everything else has changed.

Ray.

Hi Ray. It was from the "Skeet and Jeffes" name that I found the Woking locations. If you haven't already done so, a Google of "skeet and jeffes" provides some interesting facts and publications.

The OCC Forum is successful and interesting because of the diversity that can come from a very simple post.
