Two photos of the Lord Mayor's car taken in about December 1987. One photo is of the car itself and the other is with people passing by. I guess the car always keeps the LOM 1 registration but I don't know how often the actual car is changed. Dave.the Lord Mayors car still carries LOM 1 showing the Birmingham "O" and his initials either side.
some one around here has a newish fiesta, joj plateRe.History of vehicle registration numbers
Not forgetting what was probably the most common one in Brum i.e.JOJ which was seen everywhere as it was on the Corporation buses!
Had a lot of fun driving that when it came in for service we would put the flag on and drive it round town with one of the guys sitting in the back waving, people would wave back He He.Two photos of the Lord Mayor's car taken in about December 1987.

Can anyone tell me what year and make this motor is? My Grandfather Dad Uncle Grandmother and ME the nipper I was born in 1933 so the motor must be a 1935 or so?
Sadly no, I can't recall anyone by that name. It was a red car and she didn't live in Hall Green and I'm far too much of a gentleman to name her hereI had a good friend in the seventies, she was a bit older than me. Her name was Ollie (Olive), she lived in Hall Green. She had an Austin Mini, think it was a pale yellow colour, the reg was SXC...., wonder if she is the same person as you knew, jmadone?
Thinking about this for sum reason Lord Mayors car in the 70's was a Rolls Royce ? not a DS 420 either way they would have come in to Granville St for service, so many cars over the years it hard to remember them all.Had a lot of fun driving that when it came in for service we would put the flag on and drive it round town with one of the guys sitting in the back waving, people would wave back He He.
