Well, there's something odd going on in the foreground between the lamp post and the policeman!

KKP 1 survives, but as a cut-down special.

Its weird being the same age as old people.

At a glance I would say it was a Hooper Empress saloon on a Bentley Mark 6 chassis.

(I am a novice at photoshopping or whatever it's called Sad

)

B299CD now with a 4.9 S1 engine.

This has popped up on a Stroud area memories page. Does anyone fancy IDing the three trucks?

Before identifying any of the trucks I thought it might be of interest to learn that 10 solid silver medals won by the Hillier Bacon factory over 100 years ago have been restored to Nailsworth through public donations.

The Hillier Bacon factory were also awarded some gold medals (as advertised on the truck in the photo)... but I doubt they survive.

Has anyone seen this MG front end before?

Those were the brilliantly successful 'C' Type MGs.

They were a sportier version of the M type midget that had previously done so well at Brooklands. They became known as the Montlhery Midget.

Anyone care to identify these three vehicles at Gerald's Soap Works, Nottingham in the 1930s?

Am I just imagining it, or do the middle one and the one on the right have OVAL badges?

What is presumably a 1920s Standard SLO

'Count them on the road'
