The Kodak Instamatic series of pocket cameras was first launched in 1963, the Instamatic 50 A 126 cartridge film camera, with a fixed aperture, and two simple exposure controls, bright/hazy+flash. My god did I think I was pretty swanky having one of these as a kid in the late 60's

I knew of the vehicles but getting to them was a pain in the arse, so we didn't bother. Was there a 'don't get scratched up' route we missed?

Hmmm, there was a way we did see but that involved the nosey neighbours seeing us, and they were having coffee in the conservatory while giving us disdainful looks on exit.

Treasure trove for some, junk to others. Fascinating seeing some of the oldies, like talc in a tin only way you could buy it!

Old vehicles would still be worth restoring if right people found, sometimes wonder how many old sheds have simply been abandoned leaving everything behind!
