Ray Powell Ltd Garage


Ray Powell Ltd garage, situated on Ferry Lane in Tottenham Hale, London. This fold-out poster was one of a set produced for children's schools in the early 1970s, this one was simply titled "The Garage" and dates to October 1973. The red car outside the garage is a Singer Vogue, I can see another blue Arrow (assuming it could be a Hillman Hunter), and I can spot a Humber Sceptre in the back also. Found the images over at oldclassiccar.co.uk

AGO


Another clean and complete looking Singer Vogue. It is a G reg. (1st Aug 1968 - 31st July 1969). Notice the more modern "Vogue" badges, which I beleive were put on for the 69 onward models. Photos by: Andy Reeve-Smith.

América Latina

I'm in Central America at the moment and in the honor of this beautiful and vibrant part of the world I wanted to make a post, so I thought about this photo. This slide was taken in late 60s/early 70s in Caracas, Venezuela.

Details are sketchy but there are some information out there that Rootes used to built the Arrow Series in Venezuela. If anybody out there has additional information about Rotoes operations in Latin America please let me know, Muchas Gracias! ;)

For more Caracas slides see my set on flickr.

Hemel Hempstead Hunter




1972 Hillman Hunter DL (1500cc) spotted in Hemel Hempstead, UK. Despite the condition it has been Taxed and MOT, but I have to add that the Ford Pepperpots wheels doesn't really go with the car. Thanks for the Photos BMC Dan!
