These “wacky motors” belong to a local garage in South Shields, they are on River Drive just past the Trimmers pub on the way into the town. I don’t know anything else about them.
Regards Kev.

HMS Echo, a multi role hydrographic survey ship. We don’t often see naval vessels in the Tyne these days. Regards Kev.

Hi Tyneside,

Volvo car bodies for the P1800 were produced by the Pressed Steel Company Scotland until 1969.

The early P1800’s were assembled in Birmingham by Jensen, the later P1800S were assembled in Sweden, I think The Saints car was a British assembled version.

Joe Lee who part owned Springwell Quarry and other things had one, which I think was a C or D reg so probably about 1965/66

These boats were “displaying” coming through the piers on Sunday, it was quite a sight to see!
Unfortunately I only had my phone camera so the pics are a bit basic. They ■■■■■■■ at the DFDS berth at North Shields, they are still there today. The display was moving up and down as if they had wings and they were flying over the water. Regards Kev

Impressive looking 8wheeler, V8, 560. It must be close to 30t with all that pump equipment,
It sounded fit when running the jetting equipment. This spot is the car park beside the Tyne Pedestrian Tunnel. It’s actually right on top of the North bound road tunnel.
