Not my strong suit, (too early), so open to correction:
Ford Prefect
Hillman Minx
Austin A?….(about to knock down cyclist!)
2 X Ford Prefects
Ford Anglia
Wolseley 6/80
The one driving toward camera is a Ford Prefect – like Arthur Dent’s friend in Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy
Even then it looked like a kip…
some of the one star reviews on tripadvisor of Busaras are hilarious.
For the time that was in it, when Dublin was grim and dirty, sooty and slummy the Busaras was new, clean, colourful inspirational, aspirational and modern. One could hope that something good was coming. Well, that’s how I remember it anyway.
Morris Minor, the white car behind the Ford Prefect.
