Back in the 1970s and ’80s, these cards were all the rage and the ones that are relevent to this site can be seen below.

The rally cars are interesting: the Mini we can see, but who would want to rally a Triumph 2000? ‘That particular car looks like one driven by Brian Culcheth that was entered by BL Competitions department in the East African Safari Rally in 1972 and was actually a 2.5PI not a 2000TC. It did surprisingly well coming 13th overall and first in class, but the body suffered terribly, cracking around the rear windscreen pillar (the screen fell out at one bit) and down the wing, ending up with the boot section noticeably sagging!’

A couple of SD1s: one is a “Supercar”, the other is a “Luxury GT”.
