A few grainy period photos of Mk 1s

Postby vannut » Sat Sep 10, 2011 2:33 pm

Found these on a local history website. They're a bit grainy but they are Transits in their day.

Lots of departed classics of the British motor industry there, including one of my particular favourites, the Corsair 2000E :!:
Any idea of the location(s) :?:

They're all around Darlington. Lots more photos here:

Lots of trolley buses and other historic vehicles - be careful though - make sure you arm yourself with a coffee before you start, you could lose hours! :D
