If that Reanault was involved in an incident the child on the bonnet would be straight through the windscreen. I don’t like seeing irresponsibility like that

get over it we all sat on the engine cover in those days, it’s what we did, we left it in the hands of our Dad’s to drive carefully.
The Leyland Roadtrain, is one of Cartransport BRS, probably from Cowley of Longbridge depot.
