I will have had my (Biblically) allotted: "Three score years and ten"...
Fortunately I am Athiest and intend to take more than my share; but if I stop posting you'll know I've got it wrong again.
Other more important things 70 years old: The film 'Snow White', the 'Biro',
and Orson Welles scaring the poo out of the American public when he broadcast 'War of the worlds'.
Oh! and the Rover 16 I courted the memsahib in was manufactured.

It's my 10th wedding anniversary in September if that counts. 
The first series 1 Super Snipe rolled of the production line at Ryton in 1958. |

The Rover P3 started it's very short life in 1948 and went on till 1949
The first production model, the Porsche 356 was in 1948
The 2CV were produced from 1948 to 1990.
Launch of the Aston Martin DB1 named after Brown’s initials
Ford USA released the 1st of the F-Series
Morris FV-series (Series I) 1948 - 1954
Scammell's Scarab replaced the original Mechanical Horse which dated back to 1933
The FX3 was launched in 1948, a combined effort by Austin and Carbodies Ltd
The two-by Jeepster launched in 1948 as a Willys-Overland product
Scrabble was launced in 1948
Polo mints were launched in 1948
Spangles were launched in 1948....Where are they today?
The first Candid Camera by Allen Funt was in 1948
The National Health Service
Seems 1948 was a great year for lots of new beginnings

British Railways 60th anniversary
90 years since the end of WWI, maybe any commemorations might bring out an interesting WWI motor or two? |
