London Traffic 1970

[Panky]

Great spotters film. I saw four Commers and plenty of Walk-Thru's and Karriers

Nice Stiletto right near the start and a few Imp and Arrows along the way. Most unusual spot right at the end with what looks like an Alpine A110. Shame about the bus obsession though!

 

[Panky]

What looked like a DB5 too

 

[bazzateer]

Yep, 5 or 6.

I love the blacked out gangster taxis

Looks really strange when they drive past the Swiss Centre and continue straight through Leicester Square !

At least one of the buses had a Rootes London add on it. Never personally ever recall seeing an actual Rootes advert .... but I did grow up in a wee village...

There was a rule then that if you drove a van with sliding doors it was mandatory that you drove with the doors open!

 

[Jimmy van]

I still abide by that rule

Even in winter up north

Friend of mine just about killed a guy at work with a sliding door van. The guy jumped out of the van as he braked to go round a corner. The door slide forwards and his foot got caught in the door. He was dragged along the road.

I had a Transit mk1 facelift with sliders in the early 70's. Thought I was well cool on holiday with my mate in Newquay, driving along with Beach Boys blasting out the open doors, trying to attract the babes.

Your friend should have used more chloroform!
