A traction park


Attracting a lot of attention in Morrison's supermarket car park, this beautifully maintained Citroën can also be seen here on the traction owners' website.  It is a 1949 LHD built in Paris, bought by a local owner in 1987, since when it has done over 100,000 miles. 

Having been a doctor's car for 29 years, it was imported to England in 1969, then registered VLM59G, so from the French department of le Nord, of which Lille is the principal town.

Yellow bird


Another from the National Railway Museum, inspired by the American beauty shown here on Oakland Daily Photo. This is a 1934 Chrysler Airflow posing in front of the equally streamlined, maroon and gold, art deco Duchess of Hamilton. The linked article is worth the detour.

Cambridge in York


This smart Austin Cambridge (c.1962) used to be parked near the Malton Road roundabout, but has been on this Layerthorpe garage forecourt for several months now. You can yell as much as you like, this is one cab that ain't moving; it hasn't budged an inch for a long time now, or even a centimetre.
