Past Present and in Between in Pictures (Part 1)

The Morris Z van is local to me but I haven’t seen it recently. Back in the mid sixties I used to get a lift home from a club weekly in one from a husband and wife, however one day the wife (who was having an affair with a much younger lad who I also knew) picked the lads girfriend up from work one lunchtime in the van and battered her to death in the road behind our house. She had asked her teenage son to dig a large trench in their garden “to plant trees” but actually it was to bury the girls body. Luckily her husband came home early and caught her.

Looks like they had a load of pre war bus rear wings left over for that Vaux AEC Mercury

That bus/rail accident brings a whole new meaning to the phrase ‘integrated transport’. :unamused: :laughing:

A Liverpool Corporation tram at its terminus at Seaforth near Liverpool.
Not far beyond the railway bridge is the docks and the River Mersey.

It’s a Zodiac. If you enlarge the pic you can read the lettering on the bonnet.

Even better! It is a Zodiac Executive. A limited edition. Leather upholstery and several extras such as the spot lamps. I had one and really liked it. Sadly it ended up as the filling in a collision between a D Series artic and a KM artic. The KM and I were stopped at night at a junction and the D Series driver coming along behind us had fallen asleep. A police traffic car was parked opposite and witnessed everything. A bloody great bang and incredible acceleration alerted me to the collision (!) and the Zodiac was no more…
