swe62 332 Posted October 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2021 thats Pete ,if you look under Pete Farries cars on google there are lots,he was also a great pilot and flew his 1941 Auster till a few months ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 9,935 Posted October 20, 2021 Report Share Posted October 20, 2021 I've Googled the subject and although there are many examples of his work, this doesn't appear. Do you know if he was responsible for it ? It was for a kids TV programme titled 'Professor Lobster' which ran for one series in 1987, and came from Central TV on Lenton Lane.

denshaw 2,812 Posted October 22, 2021 Report Share Posted October 22, 2021 That was something to do with Teesdale garage on Hucknall Road. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 9,935 Posted October 22, 2021 Report Share Posted October 22, 2021 Den, you must be the only other person who could recognise that thing ! It's a coincidence, because I know someone whose dad used to work at Teasdale Garage, so maybe I can find more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
denshaw 2,812 Posted October 22, 2021 Report Share Posted October 22, 2021 I remember it being in the news, there were issues with the visibility on the vehicle and the police weren't happy about it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
