carosio Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Does anyone remember the grey-haired old gent in Hillsborough who used to drive an open-top Morris Cowley Bullnose with the number W 62? The number was apparently much older than the car. He used to drive regularly along Langsett Rd to town, I think the car was blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillsbro Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 He used to drive regularly along Langsett Rd to town, I think the car was blue.Yes, it was a very dark blue; I think the owner lived on Garry Road. I imagine that the number W 62 would originally have been carried by the 62nd vehicle registered in Sheffield - probably around the turn of the century, though the Bullnose was a 1920s model.
