    Fantastic, loved it.

    Ok, without Googling it because you'll spoil it, what year did it start?
    ( Yes, I do know the answer)

  2. I remember my dad pulling into 'The Coronation Garage' (get that for a name) and going nuts that petrol had hit 5 shillings a gallon!

    Apparently 25p a gallon was ridiculously expensive! This is the bit that shocks me, that's equivalent to 5.5p per Ltr. I had to check it on an AA data sheet and sure enough, that must have been 1964.

    5.5p per Ltr!

    Mind you that was when 5 shillings was 5/-.

    The car was Vauxhall Cresta he'd bought off his twin brother. Twin tone black and white too.
    He got rid of it pretty quick.Turned out to be a piece of shit but he didn't stop moaning about for years after. :joy:
