The Promenade, Clacton-on-Sea old postcard 1970s
I do enjoy a trip to Clacton, regrettably I haven't managed it for a few years and obviously I can't go at present so this little batch of cards will have to do for now.
Mildly disappointing that we don't have an HB Viva to complete the set, although at least we have HA, HC and Bedford van. Interesting to see the latter as an AA van, along with an Escort Mk1 equivalent. Were their drivers enjoying a spot of seaside sunshine whilst waiting for the next snapped fanbelt or flat battery?
Difficult to make out any full registrations, but the Viva HA looks to be on a Norfolk 'VF' plate and the Fiat 850 was a local Essex 'EV' car.
The tank-topped lad looks like he's on a collision course with the crossing post.....
