MargieH 7,594 Posted June 9, 2019 Report Share Posted June 9, 2019 (This is Paul). We has a green Singer Vogue estate in the early 1960's. Lovely walnut facia and loads of room. Not many left in the country now!! We also had a Hillman Hunter estate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DJ360 6,711 Posted June 9, 2019 Report Share Posted June 9, 2019 My neighbour had a Sunbeam Rapier in the 60s. As I recall the Sunbeam Rapier was the 'sporty' one, the Hillman Hunter, the 'cooking' version, and the Singer Vogue the 'luxury' version of basically the same car. I'll soon know if I'm wrong.... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Quite right DJ360 all with basically the same performance and specs, 25-26mpg, 0-60 around 14 seconds. As we used to say in the trade, the only difference was "sh1t and glitter" 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

radfordred 6,284 Posted October 20, 2019 Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 Not sure what this was at the lights at the Wheelhouse earlier today? When I caught up with it side by side at Crown Island it had a machine gun mounted on the bonnet? Sunday drivers eh? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

philmayfield 6,089 Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 It didn't fail but just look at the list of advisories on the last MOT! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stuart.C 483 Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 It's had a good selection of advisories in the last 7 years. I asume the "Spikes " stuck on the body are Foam? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 I wasn't sure what car it was until I checked on the MOT site and it's apparently a Corsa. Also described as 'Blue'. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IAN FINN 792 Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 I remember trying to get the head off a vauxhall vx4/90with aliminum head the studs would weld themselves to the head but there was a tool that would bolt onto the head bolt which would remove a couple of thou which made head removal easy no more wedges and beating the hell out of head.

LizzieM 9,497 Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 Took this photo in Cromford the other day. Got to send photo to my brother-in-law who apparently had one in the 60s. Surely it’s not the original colour ....... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Pianoman 1,531 Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 That car lives on Cromford Hill. I think the colour is a bit 'adventurous for a Rover of that era. It is a Rover 12 Saloon c.1945-47. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HSR 286 Posted June 12, 2020 Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 Re..Last photoI, assume you got permission to take the photograph and post on a open forum? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
radfordred 6,284 Posted June 12, 2020 Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 According to https://www.check-mot.service.gov.uk/ the 1947 1389cc Rover is black? Black cars matter. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted June 12, 2020 Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 I agree it looks very bright for a Rover of that age. I remember them as always being black or grey. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Pianoman 1,531 Posted June 12, 2020 Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 1389 cc confirms that it is 12hp Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HSR 286 Posted June 12, 2020 Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 Obviously have no respect for people's personal space and privacy.. Without a confirmation from the original picture taker can't confirm weather the householder approves... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

philmayfield 6,089 Posted June 12, 2020 Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 You took a photograph from the street. Why would you need permission from the owner? If that were the case you’d need permission for every photograph you take in a public place. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,094 Posted June 12, 2020 Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 Is there anything we can do nowadays? Without offending some bugger !! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rob.L 1,084 Posted June 12, 2020 Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 I’ll leave this here. Taking photos in a public place is not illegal. The only time an offence is committed is if the photographs being taken are considered to be indecent. There is no law stating that you can't take photographs in public. This includes taking photos that include other people's children or taking photos of children directly. An offence will, however, have been committed if the photographs taken are indecent. "Public Place" is not defined in legislation. A public place is usually a place to which the public are allowed to have access freely and without payment or permission. This includes any public highway or footpath. The inside of a car is also considered as a public place, unless it is parked on private property. You may take photographs of people or objects (including buildings) whilst in a public place. With a few exceptions the owners of the property cannot prevent you from doing so and people cannot generally object to having their photographs taken https://www.blpawards.org/competition/photo-rights 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stuart.C 483 Posted June 12, 2020 Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 Google have photographed the whole World from above and most of it at street level. They've made it all available online. They didn't ask my permission, they didn't need to. Someone on the road I live on must have objected as 3 weeks or so after it was originally available the street view of my house and onwards is blurred out. None of the Satellite view is though.

Rob.L 1,084 Posted June 12, 2020 Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 Although Google do blur faces, vehicle registrations, house numbers, etc, wherever possible, to protect privacy. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
