Francis Lee RIP

Well my first car was a blue Datson 100A. Put grey furry seats in it and a stripe down the middle to make it look sporty. Sounded like a hairdryer!
They were cool, especially the orange one's

They liked to rot as well?

My first was a blue (of course) Datsun Cherry. Put goatskin on the seats. Sexy as fuck, but stunk like dead goats, not surprisingly, in the sun .....

God knows why I did that now I think about it. Seemed a good idea at the time.
 
So Ford loaned the players a car (in England) for the duration of the world cup - when the players were in Mexico! That makes sense!

Great condition it's been kept in.
They were allowed it for a year (I think) then could either give it back or buy it at a reduced price, Franny bought his for his missus via his business. The reg plates were numbered in sequence from 1 to 22, Bobby Moore was #1, Franny #2 and some of the other players got theirs based on their usual shirt number.

The story was in the MEN a few days ago with more details.
 
I used to see Brian Kidd driving his England car in Alkrington a lot when I was going out with a girl from there in 1970.
