Prompted by the recent reuniting of a box of photos recently found, can anyone shed any light on this long shot?
Way back in 1970, I was going to buy an old 1930s 'Standard' car. A RARE one. This car was under cover at the back of a scrapyard. To cut a long story short, I found the original owner/original owner's family and subsequently borrowed two photos with a view to having them copied with the intention of keeping the copy for reference as a 'before' picture (the car was then scruffy and unloved) BUT not only did I not get the car, I lost the address where I'd got the photos and have felt very guilty ever since, they were only borrowed and I would think the family would be (quite rightly) upset with me.
Does anyone recognise the car and know the original? owner/owners family. I would like to return them to the family, even at this late time. The car IS registered with the DVLA so it's about somewhere but does not appear in the Standard Owners Club galleries (if this attempt fails, I can use that route, but I want these to go back from where they came rather than to the current owner).
I have removed the reg no, and would ask any claimant, not only the reg, and the date on the back (from the other photos in the range), but the locality from where I borrowed them (which I do remember!)
Apologies for poor scans.
Fingers crossed!
