Rockers rule Posted February 5 Author Share Posted February 5 42 minutes ago, echo beach said: Yes I never knew they had Google street view cameras in those days!😃  And the Fina petrol station dates it as well. According to Wiki they were taken over by Total. It’s amazing how brands disappear over time and we hardly notice.  echo. Talking of old petrol stations. I've been back in Sheffield the last couple of Fridays ' What the Hell is that' on the corner of Hill St and London Rd . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Hardy Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Hi Rockers, The car in the photo is not a Daimler Dart.I had seven Daimler Darts in my time and they did not have a flat topped rear wheel arch.The car in the picture I would guess is a Ford 10 Special with a Typhoon fibre glass body,but it is only a guess. Kind Regards Bri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind Regards Bri That's what struck me when I first spotted it, a Ford Special with fi-glass body. My father had a Ford Ashley-bodied special, it was mounted on the Ford Pop chassis I believe, and if you look carefully in the pic I think it has the Ford Pop wheels.
