Look at the car behind!
« on: Tuesday 06 November 07 17:32 GMT (UK) »
Can anyone give this photo more clarity please? It's early 1920s so does anyone know how much that bull-nosed Morris would cost back then and the equivalent now? I thought that they were poor farmers!

Thank you all for the restoration jobs. They were certainly an improvement!

The articles and pics of bull-nosed Morris cars were fascinating. So if my grandfather's car was £225 in early 1920s how much would that be now? Anyone please?

The book excerpt was really interesting especially the cartoon. That's a very lovely book - I looked at other pages too. More info on the Irish Partition which history never ceases to fascinate me.
