Default cars

The triumph herald . The 'P' plates displayed , tell other road users there is a probationary driver at the wheel..who has less than 12 months experience .

The car had twin SU carbies and I was always fiddling with them .. it would fart and miss . I didnt know what i was doing .. until a relative who was a mechanic altered the diss points gap and it ran a lot better . They had weak diffs and nylon front suspension bushes that were prone to wearing out in quick fashion. My 2nd everyday car was a 1942 MB Jeep .. still on P plates when I got it ... and LHD too .

The 34 Ford in my original post, was sitting in the same back yard.. 20 years previously ! The other car in the background is my brothers 1956 Vanguard . Another Herald , same as mine is behind the Vanguard.. we had 3 of them on the road at one point... people were almost giving them away then.
