Unknown date on this one. Maybe someone could date the car on right.

At a guess it does look like the rear of a 1936...'ish Morris Eight which had the spare wheel on the rear panel.


My Dad had one of these and during the Summer weekends we would regularly go up this hill in the mid 1950's. The bend at the bottom coming up is especially tight even now for a modern car.


Ironically i now live just around the corner from here...
