The Museum of Liverpool

[grekko]

Heres a photo i took of the Ford at the Old Museum of Liverpool Life a good 5 or 6 years ago, or thereabouts. Definitely a pale green to me.

I agree though, **** stupid place to put it. Not a lot of point it being there really

They'd been keeping an eye on a dodgy looking fella with a pile of bricks just before they opened!

Were was the image in post #113 taken?
Is it the place somewhere around Bankhall, where the large objects are?
Is that place open to the public?

My pal was right & I am wrong. He also said my memory of the car could be clouded by images from ITV's "Heartbeat". But if I squint my eyes a bit and put on these rose coloured glasses, there...now then that's better. ****ing LIME GREEN!
I was WRONG
Grrrrrr

The Green,Purple,Orange one was rolled off the production line in 1963 and the owner had it for 3 years so that means the official car in the museum in 65/66 was light blue and in 66 the museum must have dumped the blue one for the 63 model?

Is the Reg No 1KF a genuine DVLA registration?

Or could it've been 1 KFC?
Who knows? Only the Shadow knows.

It was up against a wall, you could not walk around it..
It had a train carriage behind you if you stood side on with the car in front of you..
from the same standing position...
the exit to William Brown Street was 20 yards to the left through a door......
that led to toilets on the right.. a crisp machine to the right of the toilets..
a stairway by the toilets... and the ground floor exit that was later blocked for years..
next to the staircase...

and to the left of the exit was a lecture theatre/movie/slideshow room


and, the Ford Anglia in William Brown St museum was Lime Green...

I know.. it was my playground..
I lived right behind the museum...
and I still do today..
and the area is still my playground 40 odd years later..


Any bets ?..



Thanks..

I seem to recall there being a steam wagon there also, was it a Sentinel?

I wouldn't know the name.. sorry
there was all kinds in that basement...
its been doing my head in all day trying to remember an item that was next to the car..
I know it was only small.. on a stand, or base of some kind..


I know one thing for certain...
I loved that car as a kid.. and I never saw the far side of that car..
One side was visible... you could not walk around that car..



I'm sure there was a wigwam...or something to do with Red Indians..
to the left of the car as you walked toward the exit...

It will come to me everything that was in that basement room..

Thanks..

Wan't there a motorised bathchair and a velocette(I think) motor bike? Also remember a Hansom cab type carriage.

[Stanier]

I also remember a motorbike.
A MDHB saddle tank loco and the Lion (Titfield Thunderbolt).
