That early Morris Minor convertible would be worth a lot of money today. I think it must be an old side-valve model. Surely rare nowadays.

A Bath registration from Jan 1950 to May 51, but likely new in 1950 as the headlights were repositioned into the wings for 1951, the same side valve engine as was used in the early 1930’s Minor and Morris 8 with slight changes. The Minor Tourer in the photo also shows the painted gap between the chrome bumper which resulted from the widening of the original design and why the bonnet had the same 4in strip running along the centre. These early Minor’s were known as Low Lights, the change to the higher wing position came about when the Minor was exported to the USA to comply with their regulations. Always liked this little car would love to own one. Franky.

The first car I ever drove was a Morris Minor shooting brake reg no UGB507. It was my brother’s car but he let me drive it to school one day whilst he sat in the passenger seat. The look on the teachers faces as I tooted the horn whilst passing them on the road was priceless. A memorable day for an 11 yr old boy

Looking through some old Falkirk stuff and came upon this 1924 LVL(Light Vehicles Ltd) lorry made in Wolverhampton.
Buzzer:
Oh what a beauty just had to share, Buzzer
Is that an early to mid 50s?
Agreed, I would bet if they still manufactured that model people would buy it, work of art.

Indeed a very elegant car, and so much smarter than a Hillman Imp! It slightly reminds me the Bugatti Atlantic, another mythic car.

Not sure who the rider is but it’s Mike ‘The Bike’ Hailwood on pillion. Ironically Mike and his daughter were killed by a truck making an illegal manouvere. 
Following his retirement from motor sport, in late 1979 Hailwood established a Honda-based retail motorcycle dealership in Birmingham named Hailwood and Gould, in partnership with former motorcycle racer Rodney Gould.[55]
On Saturday 21 March 1981, Hailwood set off in his Rover SD1 with his children Michelle and David to collect some fish and chips. As they returned along the A435 Alcester Road through Portway, Warwickshire,[56] near their home in Tanworth-in-Arden, a lorry made an illegal turn through the barriers onto the central reservation, and their car collided with it. Michelle, aged nine, was killed instantly. Mike and David were taken to hospital, where Mike died two days later from severe internal injuries.[57] He was 40 years old. David survived with minor injuries. The lorry driver was fined £100.
Hailwood claimed to have been told by a fortune teller in South Africa that he would not live to 40 and would be killed by a truck. The story was repeated by Elizabeth McCarthy in a 1981 memoir, while recounting her relationship with Hailwood, whom she had met at the Canadian Grand Prix in 1967. When he asked for her hand in marriage, she replied that she was hesitant to marry someone who could die at any weekend race. He then told her his story and said; “…I will be killed by one of those ■■■■ lorries – so, you see, it won’t happen on a track”.[58]

The Leyland body A-triple reminds me of one of my 2 ‘training’ runs with Buntines. Two differences, the body truck I shared with George was a Mack and I’m pretty sure those blokes on top have the advantage of a board runway down the centre. We had no such modern elfin safety, and had to swing between the cross bars while attempting to ‘re-arrange’ our cargo including trying to get fallers to rise.
I expect Dig might recognise the haulier, I don’t, the only one I knew, who ran exclusively Leylands I think, was Baldocks.
My other training run was with Kevin in his A-triple semi and 2. Much younger and fitter than George, he nevertheless flipped his 3rd trailer in the bush one early morning after a moments inattention allowing several of us to have a campfire breakfast after the effort of righting it.

Your “Just saying” post. I’m just agreeing.
They really are just taking the ■■■■. I just watched Grant Shapps (or whatever name he is using today-Google it if that is unclear) being asked if the electricity price rise will bother him! He just had a 2 grand pay rise! Pure ■■■■ taking by the political and business (mates of politicians) elite! Not to mention the Royals. Andy just repaid a £750K “gift”! Yes, I certainly agree with you.
Enjoy your pork. With apple sauce?

I.m not familia with the Leyland Buffalos owners either David it looks like they maybe based in Cloncurrie but not 100per cent on that.
The last company I worked for on the cattle had centre boards on the all their crates an absolute must on double deckers, my first trip with D/D crates was a nightmare getting used to the sway but the height gave me some issues so I crawled along the walkway on the top the bullocks loved it they tossed their heads and rattled my fingers with their horns which I had curled around the edges of the boards to hang on but I.m happy to say i soon found my feet so to speak and as our A frames were only 4foot 6inchs long jumping the gap between crates became the norm rather than climb down then up again.
