The difference back then in 73 everything would have been made in the UK a lot of it in the Midlands.

As a teenager we use to hang around the local auto parts store at the weekend talking cars to the owner and customers. One Saturday morning a young lady enter, looking a bit sheepish as she had obviously been sent by her husband and wasn't use to such shops

"Can I have a full service kit for my Ford please?"

Before we could speak she followed up with

"Plugs, points, air filter, oil filter, rocker gasket please"

She smiled and was happy she had clearly relayed the information in a confident manner

The owner asked only one question

"What type of Ford?"

A big smile rushed across the young ladies face, she was obviously sure she could answer this question

"A green one" was the reply

Thought id share a couple from a recent trip to Snowdonia. Glorious weather for the 3 days we were there, and covered nearly 700 miles, going the long way home from places to discover some of the local roads.

Its the reversing lamp does it for me - many manufacturers for years after hung these unceremoniously form the rear valance of 'up market models' sometimes with a red glass and billed as a fog lamp!

My dad had that exact battery charger. It was blue and still going strong when he left.

In terms of inflation you can roughly add a zero to all those prices making that battery charger £31. Current price for their basic model £39.
battery terminal would be £2.90 today, current price £3.99
