EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in the charming town of Ramsbottom, this vintage print showcases Mr. Sam West proudly posing next to his beloved MG Magnet. Dated 22nd August 1966, this snapshot takes us back to a time when cars were not just modes of transport but symbols of personal style and status. What makes this image even more intriguing is the registration number on Mr. West's MG Magnet - F U 1. Little did he know that across the country, in bustling London, another car owner named Mr. Philip Smith also possessed a Jaguar with the exact same number plate! A fascinating coincidence that would spark an amusing rivalry between these two automobile enthusiasts. Both unwilling to give way over their cherished registration number, it became a lighthearted battle of pride and determination between Mr. West and Mr. Smith. This anecdote from the swinging sixties perfectly captures the passion people had for their vehicles during that era. Eddie Rawlinson's expertly preserved photograph transports us back to a time when cars were not just machines but extensions of one's personality and individuality. It serves as a nostalgic reminder of how something as simple as a number plate could ignite friendly competition and camaraderie among car owners.
