PN 9223 is listed on the A7CA register as belonging to a Bristol A7 Club member, so maybe it's still a Tetbury resident.

PN 9223 is indeed still a Tetbury resident, and is now owned by the great-nephew of the 1963 owner.

Robert,

This is nothing to do with A7s but may bring back memories to some over 50’s. It’ an hour long but quite interesting showing how easily some kept moving on the roads then.

Two of my memories are that of an oil tanker lorry stuck in the snow with only it’s filling caps visible above the snow, also the sea being frozen solid for some distance from the shore.

There's an excellent short clip on you tube called Grande Panda (I haven't learnt how to do the link) showing a Range Rover stuck on a hairpin bend with no traction in snow and a Fiat Panda squeezing past with no bother.

Hilarious!

4WD Panda?

RE: a seven in the snow 58 years ago - Reckless Rat - 14-01-2021

Range Rover Velar with low profile bling tyres. Owner obviously doesn't know about diff lock function. Panda seems to have either chains or snow tyres fitted.
