I love these old photos. Must be somewhere in the UK because there isn't a foreign car in sight.
Date, I say 1964 onwards because the newest car is the Ford Classic and there's a Ford Corsair near the front. Any other bets or perhaps you know where it is?

Can folk who are not members of Facebook still see these Videos? The problem is that I cannot find some of them on You Tube.

Memories of my uncle owning one when I was a nipper and teasing me by sticking his left hand out when he wanted to turn left. The car was so narrow that his hand would reach out of the L/H window

I think it's Blue Anchor, Minehead, Somerset. Look at the place now. It's a huge campsite and the building in the distance on the old photo will be the Smuggler's Inn.

Taken from a different angle of course as Google Maps don't go onto campsites.

We need the help of Monsieur Le Pew for this next one.
There's a chap on Forumeribatouring Fr. who specialises in uploading many hundreds of old pictures of various locations in France. Yesterday I asked where we could find some of the UK and he came up with this one of Malvern. However, he couldn't find the exact location using Google Maps.
Is it anywhere close to his second picture Pete?

It reads:- Baily's Garage Hire and Tour, Devonport circa 1936.
The following report was taken from an Australian Website:-
The recently published history of the RACV Caravan Club 70 Years, includes a page from the 15 February 1937 edition of The Radiator (the RACV magazine of the time) which shows an advert for Baily's Caravans for hire. The advert indicates that the caravans were "Beautifully Equipped with Beds, Electric Light, Radio, Wardrobes, Drawers, Sink and Water Tank, Cutlery, Crockery and BOAT" (their capitals).
The advert does not indicate whether the vans were built by Baily's themselves, or were specially built for them, but the photos show that they were of a very unusual design - by the look of it, most probably to carry a dinghy as standard equipment.
In fact several caravans of the 30's were designed to carry a boat for 'the complete holiday' - a subject for another day...
