Re: Garages Gallery-Ancient and Modern
Just digging this one out again, seeing as I was conversing about it to the owner of a yellow Vauxhall Cavalier which was one of the very first of the launch of the model, and sold by Jake Robson at Consett.
It was built on 14th November 1975 and in the launch colour of signal yellow, with a claim to be the oldest surviving cavalier.

Re: Garages Gallery-Ancient and Modern
I would go for Cleveland petrol there or possibly Fina as they are the only 2 triangular globes I can remember!
I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!
I used to ride on two wheels, but now I need all four!

..and a link. The car transporter was one of the first owned by W.A. Glendenning of Shotley Bridge.
.and the little story to go with the photo shoot
The car transporter revolution!: New in 1960, SJR 100 was the first car transporter to be operated by WA Glendinning, of Shotley Bridge. Seen on Front Street in Consett, Ken tells us that this was something of a trial load. The Morris artic had just been painted by Bob Grindle, so it was taken up to JS Robson – the town’s Vauxhall dealer – so that the Burtonwood tail-lift could be tried out. John Thompson was the first regular driver of this outfit.
