BAZZER 10 Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 That's one smart machine Pete,,,,, takes me right back. Most of our bunch had Lambretta's,,,,, but I still like to see a well turned out Scooter. One of my mates had a Truimph 250 with the tank antenna on it, which he preferred me to drive, with him on the back,,,, We lost no end of antenna tops on lamp-posts when cornering too close ! Mind you, I came down from a 650 Thunderbird (with chair !),,, Racing ITOM,,, Tiger 110 etc,,,, to my Lambretta 150cc. Well worth the change,,,,,, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mick2me 3,033 Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 That particular Model was made with many badges, dependent upon the level of luxury. There was a Riley badged one, that would be the upmarket one with leather seats etc. Like the Riley Elf, which was a posh Hillman Imp. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
denshaw 2,878 Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Couda binna Austin Cambridge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
taxi ray 170 Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 That particular Model was made with many badges, dependent upon the level of luxury. There was a Riley badged one, that would be the upmarket one with leather seats etc. Like the Riley Elf, which was a posh Hillman Imp. The riley elf was a posh mini, as well as the wolsley hornet. The posh hillman imp was a sunbeam stiletto. Any of them cars in good nick would be worth a few bob nowadays Quote Link to post Share on other sites
denshaw 2,878 Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 The driver managed to stop the car, so its not a Toyota. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Limey 242 Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Morris Oxford, Austin Cambridge or MG Magnette. Only difference was trim level between the Morris and the Austin - the MG version had a different instrument layout (with tach), twin SU carbs and a different cylinder head. I don't think there was a Riley version, but there may have been a Wolsley! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Twas Wolsey I was thinking of Eric (Told you I was too young !!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Limey 242 Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 My dad had a blue/white Austin Cambridge! The prior owner was the Chief Constable of Notts - so when we first bought the car we would regularly get saluted when driving through Nottm.! It was also the car I learned to drive in! Wish I still owned it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Which Chief was that Eric? Popkess? Anyway "Acellerator stuck on, No Brakes" No Wonder the car in front is a Toyota! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
littlebro 234 Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 It appears to be a Morris Oxford Series VI. The Austin Cambridge had different side mouldings and rear lamps. The car is similar to the MG Magnette Mk IV and the Wolsley 15/60 but again the chrome mouldings were different. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Limey 242 Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Which Chief was that Eric? No idea Mick. Dad probably bought the car around 1967 or '68 - and kept it to about 1972. The salutes slowly stopped as more officers realised the car had a new owner (or the old owner had a new car, etc). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Rex Fletcher was the Chief till around 1975, When Charles McLachlan took over, but how long and before that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
