EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the bustling atmosphere of the 1960 Vauxhall Cresta Friary estate in Covent Garden fruit market. The creator of this remarkable image remains unknown, but their talent for encapsulating a moment in time is undeniable. Set against the backdrop of Covent Garden's vibrant streets, this snapshot showcases an iconic British automobile from the mid-20th century. The sleek lines and classic design of the Vauxhall Cresta evoke a sense of nostalgia and admiration for an era gone by. The color photograph beautifully highlights not only the car itself but also its surroundings. The cityscape of Westminster London England provides a striking contrast to the vivid fruits and vegetables that fill this lively market scene. As trade thrives amidst crates and trucks brimming with produce, one can almost hear the sounds and smell the aromas that must have filled this historic location. This image offers a glimpse into a time when commercial vehicles like these played an integral role in transporting goods across cities. Preserved within National Motor Museum archives, this retro gem serves as a testament to both automotive history and Covent Garden's vibrant past.
