Ignore my last question, I thought it used to be called gropec**t lane, but it would appear that I am mistaken.
I'll get my coat.

OK, back to the vans and films, leave that baker boy alone Fran!  Andy The next Film and van, please? Can't remember the name of the film, but I'm sure that's the where they rob 'The old Lady of Threadneedle Street' of the bullion. Because the iron gate in pic 1 looks like that at the old Royal Mint on East Smithfield heading east towards The Highway (A1203). Can't place the van at the mo' though. I think the van is an Austin. Leftie you're right about it being an Austin, it's a K8. They didn't make them for very long as the were killed off in the original BMC merger, being replaced by the more modern LD. God I'm sad. Think you're right about the film too, and if so it's the Lavender Hill Mob, a classic comedy starring Alec Guiness. |

Crikey! I missed this lot! Getting trickier! Not sure on the truck, is it General Motors? Fordson? Or maybe foreign made? Looks like big eared Stanley Holloway in the passenger seat?

Film - Andy you have already mention the main film, and the other film is something I think you are member of at times  Pic 1 - British - famous for army trucks and also one of their other models "tea cakes"? More hints later, if needed. |

Le Mans - the how you get there is not quite as important as being there.

Grrr! Trick question! The Bedford A type used a Chevrolet cab, which is why I asked if it was General Motors. The London-Brighton Classic Truck run came through my village last weekend, which was fantastic. I even saw the world's oldest Commer come chugging past. Later I was surrounded by Bedford J types (below) on Madeira Drive, Brighton. it is far more common than the A type that preceded it, with a bit more of a rounded cab, which is what threw me. Not as nice as the Commer Superpoise IMO (also below), which is what I originally thought you were trying to catch me out with. See how similar it is to your Bedford A Type?  The film? Don't tell me it's the blasted Wrong Arm of the Law again? Second film, no idea!   |
