I,ve just started work at BCA, Belle Vue & it was Induction Day on Friday.
There was a slide show & part of it showed some of the original auctions in the early 50's & then the mid/late 60's.
The other person in the Induction Day was a nice lady called Alison & I jokingly said to her
"I bet you don't know what type of car that is ".
"It's an Austin Cambridge " she said "I know that cos my Dad had one when I was a kid".
That got me thinking about my Dads first car.
He had a Renault Dauphine around about 1963.(In Sky Blue of course) Reg. No. was 4 numbers followed by NC.
Then he had a brown Vauxhall Victor, a B reg.
And then came the 1st of many Fords - a white Ford Corsair V4 Reg.No. ENA 609D.(I painted this number on the guider/bogey
I made at this time ,from pram wheels & a plank of wood & that's how I remember it).
