The big Jap maybe a Datsun Laurel?
They were dripping with chrome but like so many jap cars of the time, they were a martyr to the tinworm
Don’t think it’s an R16…?
Cars so much smaller then, so much more room
Mind you, the traffic wasn’t always great – not really the golden days oft portrayed by the media.
There is now parking, 6 lanes and a cycle lane across that stretch. So each lane is narrower.
1x parking
1x bus lane
2x to city lanes
2x from city lanes
1x bus lane
1x cycle lane
That cinema is still in situ and was/is used for private showings for a film company. It’s been a while now, but I attended a cast and crew showing back in 2008 there.
No way, never knew that.
Good to know.
Think I saw The Song Remains The Same there late-ish 70s.
