forest of dean redneck 11,722 Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 I don't what the top car is,but bet that would be stunning restored. Think it might be a 1950's Triumph Renown, possibly. Looks like one doesn't it,fuel filler on rear near side wing? Beautiful car, love to have old car like that,I wouldn't let kids near it let alone in it,lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like they had the pop out indicators as well, my mates dad used to refer to them as trafficators, used to pop out of the 'B' pillar. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mister Gain 1,764 Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 Didn't early Morris minor have those signal indicator? Yep, can recall both the Minor and Traveller having them. Just had a look on google and the new indicators, the ones we know now, had to be fitted on all cars registered after the end of 1958, just as a matter of interest. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
