Clacton Lodekka
Another re-scan and possibly one which I've posted here in the past years ago. This time I think I've left more of the general background scene in because I now firmly believe its often as important and interesting as the subject matter.
The photo of 80 TVX was taken on the second holiday I ever had with 'Mrs R' ... who still went on to marry me(!) and was also our second coutesy of NBC 'Wanderbus' tickets and B&Bs. We were having lunch upstairs in a cafe on the first floor opposite the junction behind the bus when this immaculate Lodekka came into view and stopped where we see it here. The meal was polished off in double quick time and a brisk walk enabled this photo to be bagged before it pulled away again.
The bus had been new locally to Eastern National, but was in the ownership of Suttons here, also a local firm but who are no longer with us The photo was taken in August 1979.
