1929 Austin 7 in a giant cracker - Tony Griffiths - 25-12-2020
1929 and the "Wanstead Motor Depot" dress up a Mulliner (?) Coupe. Pinched from the Telegraph and, in the second picture, now coloured-in after hours of laborious work. Clever. eh? Not really, the colouring is automatic, courtesy a clever program recommended by a well-known (and very clever) A7 enthusiast.

Hi Tony
That is stunning. Photos now can never be trusted. It must hugely complicate evidence in legal cases. A Council extensively repaired a house of mine they subsided. All work on the basis of a precautionary photo pessimistic I took before they excavated alongside. Despite being supposed to serve the ciitizenry, their large and determined legal team saw evasion of blame as a matter of principle and pride. With todays photo mod programs in existance I would have been sunk permanently.

Film ? Negative ? Never heard of them
And the original 110 year old untampered picture of my grandfathers motor garage in Chard will still be available long after all the disc, chip and printed pictures are a distant memory
