Step back in time to the groovy seventies, where iconic cars like the Mini 1000 Mr Bean Car and the stylish Triumph GT6 Mk3 ruled the roads. The spirit of adventure was alive as the STS Malcolm Miller sailed gracefully under full sail, while Cub Scouts eagerly participated in Operation Shoeshine. Sporting legends like James Hunt celebrated victory with a swig of champagne, embodying the thrill and glamour of the era. Meanwhile, on stage and screen, comedy trio Spike Milligan, Harry Secombe, and Peter Sellers - known as The Goons - had audiences roaring with laughter in 1972. In motorsport, Ford Escort Mk. 2 (Rothmans Rally livery) dominated with its sleek white Rothmans livery. The streets were filled with classic beauties like the MG MGB Roadster 1972 Green and Chevrolet El Camino SS 454 turning heads wherever they went. And who could resist the charm of a Lotus Elan Sprint or a Triumph Bonneville? They were an unforgettable decade that brought us timeless icons from various realms - be it cars that defined an era or entertainers who left their mark on history.
