Oh, how we ll miss the GB sticker that was our licence to thrill! As it s replaced with the UK logo, ROLAND WHITE takes a gloriously nostalgic tour of European adventures long past
Now it looks as if the famed GB logo has reached the end of the road, if you ll pardon the inevitable pun
From September, drivers travelling abroad can no longer display GB on stickers or number plates but must display a UK sticker (or number plate) instead
Change is a gesture of inclusivity towards the people of Northern Ireland, which is not part of Great Britain
Rita The Meter Maid
Patrolling the streets of London gave Rita a heady taste of the Swinging Sixties – even while she upheld the law…
Rita had barely left the police station steps when she saw two long-haired young men running towards a white Cortina parked on a yellow line just past the bus stop.
“Hurry up, it’s the Yellow Peril!” said one as he ducked behind the wheel.
“I never knew Hitler wore a skirt!” His mate gave her a cheeky wink as he slid onto the passenger seat and the car began to move into the traffic.
Rita smiled tolerantly. She’d heard worse and would probably hear a lot more before the day was out.
My 1929 Austin 12/4 Clifton Tourer
Nothing fuels a car lovers heart more than a good, old-fashioned restoration story.

A process that makes restoring vintage cars all the more beautiful.
Today, I am going to share with you a brief of how I was able to acquire a 1929 tourer Austin Clifton 12/4 from Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh now known as Telangana.
UK’s rarest cars: 1961 Commer Maidstone camper, one of only four left on British roads
This classic camper van seats seven and sleeps four. What a perfect way to spend a bank holiday weekend – as long as you’re not in a hurry

Who needs a Volkswagen Type 2 camper when you can savour such a splendid British-built home on wheels?
Sixty years ago, ownership of a new Commer camper represented freedom to countless suburbanites. No more would their holidaying be restricted to a grim boarding house on the Dorset coast, with a landlord who resembled Lionel Jeffries portraying a prison warder. Instead, the open road beckoned, with admiring glances from various Ford Consul and Austin Cambridge drivers.
