Not just you Alex,nice wide rims on the back. Almost looks like they have taken off the overriders and moved the number plate surround
over the join. Probably years ahead of its time for a towbar to not obscure the number plate ;)

Has anyone heard the Lee Kernaghan song "1959". These remind me of that time and I wasnt even born, in fact my mum was only just being born around the time of these photos.

Wow - some great old photos in those 2 posts. I love the colour schemes on the taxis. Thanks for putting these up Alex. There is so much of interest to see in each one.
