Thank you very much down memory Lane, very kind of you, I paid a large sum in the 70's for my PS 3755, came from Scotland from a 1920's "shooting Brake", from one of the large estates. Sold it, with my XJ6, to Peter Salt, Builder , Somersham Cambs, in 1983.

Thanks Lyn, ROD 90. and PS 3755. much obliged!!

Lagonda, was a lovely car Lyn, and peredicious in its time. I wonder if my old numbers are still in existence??

I think I have said before, my famous number was ROD 90, on a Wolsey!! I imagine it would be worth a pretty penny now, In the 1970's , I had my initials, PS 3755, plate on my Jaguar XJ6.

Remember Dr Judge Weoley Castle Square, there was another at bottom of Quarry Hill, on Gregory Avenue.

although only 6, by 1953, I remember vividly, riding on the trams, to the Licky Hills from Edgbaston!!

Even as a child, waiting directly over the road for a bus, I knew it was a special place, very imposing, and in the winter, with all the gas lamps lit , it was really magical to a kid.

don't remember any of those, but the one on #71 looks familiar!!

Remember them well, and the smell, happy days!!

Such great memories, for a poor boy, went to the rag market often.!!
