    UK T bucket pics from the 70s

    Hi All.
    I took these shots in the early 1970s. I thought they were taken at Santa Pod, but now I'm not so sure. I didn't know what to do with them but now I do thanks to this forum. Note the very early NDRC "Roadster Register" membership numbers. (Two of the photos have been cropped slightly to remove ladies exiting the toilets. :-) Scanned from transparencies, remember them ?
    Regards to all.
    Cliff Jones.
    Los Angeles
    P.S. Three more to come.......

    And, as I have room for another one, my 1967 El Camino just for good measure.

    I may just drop in from time to time as well!!!! I'll have to dig out some of mine as well, from the same era, although they will be of the same cars I expect!

    I know I'm going to regret this, but here's a pic of one of those T buckets, taken at Woburn Abbey around 1971 I think.

    Who is the dork? Answers on a postcard please!!




    The trailers in the background weren't for the "trailer queens" but all the drag race machinery on display there.

    Defo agree with you Nick on the location, at Santa Pod. Which leads me to ask ... "Why did we always congregate next to the bogs" ???????????.
    All NDRC Roadster Register cars, before the split that lead to the NSRA being formed ...

    If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something

    I think it's Harold Lloyd III posing with grandad's car he just inherited.
    He's wearing his glasses too. :-)

    Ok, here's some of mine &, as I said, they do seem to be of the same cars!!





    A rare colour one...



    Oh no, it's Cardy man again!!!







    Here, by way of a change, is a familiar looking one (& the car looks familiar too!!).




    Dang, there she is again...

    And finally, couldn't resist posting this one!!!
