There's a couple of Bedford vans at the rear and what looks like a white Mgbgt Behind the marina .. But what really catches my eye is that Mk4 cortina at the back .. That looks like a "Crayford Convertible" If it is then that's now worth a lot of Beer Tokens ......horrible colour though.... What make is the caravan awning top dead centre? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much to look at, zero performance and very uncomfortable. But so reliable and simple to repair. Heavy on fuel , but in Azerbaijan diesel is 28p a litre. I would've thought the Niva would be more practical out there. Once tried to park one ...what a task that was as they had no PAS. But very robust.

South Yorkshire County Council DLO started the work, SYCC was abolished in April 1986. The, then, Sheffield Works Department completed the work. If my memory serves me right this photo was taken about May / June 1987. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
