The Square, Kelso old postcard late 1960s

An unusual card this one, very glossy and more like a photo.

 

Good to see this alternative view of The Square, see also the cards I've previous uploaded (below).

 

The blue Mini looks to be on an F-reg and with the Viva HB and Minx being the most modern cars obvious to me, I'd say this was taken 1967-69.

 

Smart Consul Capri on the end of the row.

 

Is the plate on the Minor DAS 108? If so it appears to have lived-on, but confusingly it shows up on two different vehicles! Cartell have it down as being on a Toyota Yaris Verso, but DVLA and the MoT check site both state it's worn by a 1958 Bedford. There's a photo of the latter here on Flickr: flic.kr/p/NLPPCb and it appears to have been sold by Mathewsons at some point: mathewsons.co.uk/auctions/auction-dates/vehicles/10754-ne...

 

Unsent card, Dixon-Lotus production by J. Arthur Dixon ref. L1/5415/Roxburghshire.
