Vintage Garage Feature on Petrol Company Vehicles

The vehicle below, now in private hands, is a 1980's Ford rebuilt in style and livery of the 1920's which was previously used for marketing purposes by the Castrol company. In its day a company vehicle with this livery would have stood well out from the competition.

With thanks to Peter Jeffery. For more on this particular photograph please see the Anthony Hole Feature.
