Another Oldie!

I remember that this car of my father's was dark green and the first part of the number plate was COW--- which was often commented on or pointed at, being the only green COW on four wheels in Dorset! I don't remember the make of the car though...can you help? It was probably quite old when my father bought it! Left to right: Raymond, Terry, me.

It may be a Morris 8 Series E. Thank you George.

Thank you Keith. Yes precious memories. I asked my eldest brother if he could name the car, but he doesn't even remember it! Hope you're enjoying this lovely sunny day :-))

A lovely old family photo, Rosa. I'd put the car as a Morris 8 Series E of about 1938.

Thank you George. I know it was quite old when my father bought it. His first car was an Austin Ruby and that was pretty old too! Years later he wished he still had it :)

It’s a great luck that you’ve kept your memories so well ! I’ve lost mine nearly completely. Gone with the wind ! Have a good evening, Rosa ! Stay safe and healthy !

Rosalyn Hilborne ^club has replied to Ulrich John ^club

Thank you Ulrich. It is very sad that you have lost yours...it is something we treasure. I always said that if my house caught fire, after getting loved ones and pets out, all I would grab would be my photos. I try to keep them all in the same place. Take care and have a good evening.

Your dad might have been a member of the RAC, Rpsa. I've mentioned before, you are so unlike your brothers, but they are very like each other.

3 years ago.

Rosalyn Hilborne ^club has replied to Amelia ^club

Yes he was. I remember they used to salute if you passed one of their vans and they saw your badge.
I don't think any of us look like each other, but I could pick someone from both sides of the family that we look like. You wouldn't even take Terry and Ray for brothers if you saw them now....neither has much hair though ;-))

Hi Rosa,

Again, nice to see these old pics. I remember seeing shoes just like Raymond is wearing.. But not mine! (I was too poor for shoes... )
As for the car, there are a few old Morris here... www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C1222583
I think it definitely is a Morris 8..

Best Wishes and keep safe!
Peter

Hi Peter,
Thank you for the link. What I remember most about this car is that it gave me travel sickness. It is great to look back at the old pictures and remember times that we might have forgotten otherwise. It looks like we are wearing our Sunday best!!

Take care and have a good Sunday,
Rosa.
