Nice piccies there David .

I noticed the 'L' plates there displayed. Those plates are STILL in use here , over 60 years on. Yellow overall with a black L . The modern version here a plastic stick on windscreen setup . I recall the cheap cardboard L plates down in Tasmania in the early 1970's, they were issued when you applied for a learner drivers permit. If they got wet or rained on they turned into a soggy mess ! I got the permit , but never went for the test .. drove around anyway ! Car was a 1953 Anglia with a Cortina OHV engine fitted. Student days .. one day the car came to a nasty end .. head on prang with a Ford Falcon ..ouch ( me not driving , in pass. seat ). The Anglia was concertina'd , no seat belts .

Thanks guys! There are some more photos but I left them out as they are the same vehicles but from different angles.

As to Photos 1 and 2, note the MWs..MWV?? have the full screens and in # 2they have the aero screens. Any idea which MWs they are please? MWV and MWC respectively? I hope that i can get the numbers off when the pix arrive.

Oh! What DOES "TC MT" mean? Training Corps Motor Transport?

I have just got to post this pix of two lovely ladies, with the L-Cpl doing the teaching. Note the tax disc I think it is in the windscreen. I'll bet the photographer picked the best of the bunch to get a close up of! Very sexist I know!

There are several Austin 10 Tilly utility pick-up photos in the collection as well as the 8AP army tourers. If you want good quality images then you can buy them from David Riley at info@minibusales.co.uk either on a CD or prints, though CD is better/easier for hm. They are very reasonable too! I can send thumbnails only for copyright reasons.
