    It was the vertical bar that puzzled us.

    We coveted the Datsun sports cars at one time..... 260Z I think.....

    nope it was a 240Z.

    May have posted this before but around 1965, future Mrs C on left.

    And yes it was a club site.

    Thanks, and I know OT but can anyone name this caravan? Mrs C remembers another caravan before that Sprite but can't remember the make.

    I may well be wrong but I think that looks rather like another Sprite - the 400.

    PS. And a Vauxhall Velox by the looks of it. Boy did they rust!

    thanks, he was a bit (no large) car buff. I think he bought one of the first mini's in the north east.

    I think Husky's right. It’s a Victor. The rust comment still applies😀

    My brother had a Victor. That one was a rust bucket. I almost bought a Datsun Violet years ago but it was very high mileage so I let it pass. Well specced interior for the time.
