EDITORS COMMENTS
Test Drive, Built for comfort, rather than speed, armchair motoring has arrived! A Leeds firm is revolutionizing the way learners prepare for the roads with their innovative video tapes. In this print from August 18th, 1983, Alan Fleet, Sales Director of the company, demonstrates the extraordinary concept. Captured in Leeds during the vibrant 1980s era, a driver can be seen indicating with his hand as he embarks on a unique adventure in his motor vehicle ingeniously built into a sofa. The fusion of furniture and automobiles brings an element of whimsy to everyday life. This snapshot showcases not only the creativity but also highlights how individuals were embracing unconventional ideas during that time. With 'L' plates adorning this one-of-a-kind motorcar-sofa hybrid, it becomes evident that learning to drive was no longer confined to traditional methods. The image serves as a reminder of how transportation and household items can seamlessly blend together to create something truly remarkable. It captures both humor and innovation in equal measure. Published by Daily Mirror Manchester under their Memory Lane Prints collection from the past century's archives; this photograph transports us back to an era where turning heads on the road meant more than just speed – it meant driving in style.
