Junkyard Gem: 1981 Toyota Tercel Hatchback Autoblog 1 hr ago Murilee Martin
The original Tercel was the first Toyota sold in North America with front-wheel-drive, with the first-generation cars available here for the 1980 through 1982 model years. Initially badged as
Corolla Tercels, in order to cash in on the name recognition established bythebulletproofCorollassoldhereduringthe1970s (more recently, Toyota did the same thing by calling the Aqua the Prius C over here), these cars had tiny price tags and little need for fuel. Unfortunately, the Rust Monster saw the first-gen Tercels as tasty appetizers and consumed most of these cars decades ago. Here s an 81 hatch that beat the odds and came close to the magical 300,000-mile mark during its 40-year career, now residing in a self-service yard between Denver and Cheyenne.

A Few memories of 1960s Beresford Road

This from member Les: We manufactured Handbags from approx 1960 - 1975 in our small workshops that were situated in part of the back garden of the corner house by the alley in Beresford Rd. I will never forget the time when I parked my Ford Zodiac in the road in Beresford Rd by the alley and ran down the alley to pick up part of a delivery that I had forgot and trusted the dodgy handbrake would be ok, only to find on my return that the car was rolling down the road and mounted the pavement.

STEPHEN Duxbury would never part with his Jensen Interceptor. The bright yellow, six-litre V8 car, first registered in 1971, was given to him by his late father Philip, who bought it in 1995. “We picked up the car up from Grundy Mack garage in Huddersfield. I went along too,” says Stephen. “When Dad bought it, it had done about 11,000 miles - it has only done 31,000 now. It is very comfortable but you have to remember it is an old car. It bounces a bit, the heating is terrible and the air conditioning does not work but she sounds good - it’s a soft burbling sound - and feels very safe.”
