A lot of white cars there, still, it saves waving a flag I suppose. At this time, I reckon about half the cars on Britain’s roads were Japanese yet there are next to no foreign cars in that pic. Protectionism was alive and well, and still is in Le france.

In those days, Nissans were Datsuns and worked but rusted, whereas Austins rotted quicker

Bizzare, thought the same too. A occasional stop on the run down from Calais to Le Mans, stay in the big Best Western round the back.

I here the F1 Reno team are to be called Alpine next year, sounds like some up market girlie soft drinks company or the 1980's car hi fi speaker manufacturer!

Or maybe a nod to the old school cool Renault Alpine110..

Take your pic!
