Vanguards at Wisley

I prefer shot three as motors like the Minor underline the greatness of the era by all means.

I'd never have considered a Moggy as underlining the greatness of anything - particularly that one! It looks like somebody parked it under a propellor at the wrong time! And there's a little Tiger Cub next to it - I had one of those in sixty something and that wasn't too great, either :-(

Only joking - I know what you mean. They really add atmosphere to those amazing pics. Got any more, please?

So what's that next to the Morris Minor? Hillman springs to mind but is that just demented neurones sparking?

I initially thought Hillman Husky, but I think it's too big. Wasn't there a Commer something about that size?

I think you've got it Ian.. I'm pretty certain that's a Husky.. probably late 50's vintage. The side doors fit the rest of the vehicle in a rather unique way (inset at the rear) and that shot shows just this ;-)

Hi Dave - just done a google image and I now reckon the front is a Hillman Minx but I can't find a pic of one with that body. Maybe a special or a shooting brake

Stunning.

Knew I had one somewhere, but only the rear view.

'Twas my Dad's along with Boxer.

Ah.. that's a posh, later Husky Graham.. last in the line I think. Van/estate version of the Imp if I'm not mistaken The Boxer looks like it's just waiting for someone to make it's day!

I think that's the one. Amazing that I could remember that. Must be from those trips down the A30 from London to holidays in Devon as a kid - "I-Spy" or similar to keep us amused.
