Old photo: クジラクラウン2HT

I have been sorting through a big box of old photographs recently. There are lots of old pictures (some taken 20 years ago or more) of rare and interesting old cars which I have seen. Here's a picture I took in 1996...

I saw this Toyota Crown hardtop (MS75?) on the side of the road in Thirsk which is in the North East of England. It was quite rusty and it looked like it hadn't moved in a long time. I checked the registration online and it doesn't look like it was ever on the road again so I expect it has since been scrapped. Back in 1996, old Japanese cars like this were worthless in the UK but now they are rare and very desirable.

In the background, you can see my 1968 Datsun 1000 wagon (VB10). Although I don't own this car any more, it still exists. It is one of only two VB10's left in the UK. When I find some better pictures of it, I will post them in the "Cars" section.



I will scan and post up some more of these old pictures as I have taken hundreds of them over the years!
