I can’t see the Jag in the Kingfield St photo ( I can see 2 cars which definitely aren’t Jags). But if there is a Jag in the pic, I’m pretty sure it would have belonged to my brother, Bill Price. Over the years he had many interesting old cars!
I thought the car behind the Reliant Robin was a Jag. But now that I look at it, I think it’s a Rover. Whoops π Thanks Jan, I’ll remove that photos.
Jags and the East End go together like a birds of a feather.
Great images.
Been using some of your images and information ( a huge thanks and which I’ve referenced and linked) on my WordPress Research Blog;

You blog is the go to place for real genus loci (spirit of place) information.
Any issues let me know, I won’t be offended.

No problem – thanks for saying.
Super collection of photos, Mick – and an extraordinary vehicle you captured in Tiller Road!
Thanks Nicholas. That was an interesting car indeed π
And on Kingferry Road what appears to be an even more rare Reliant.
The Mk 10 on Tiller Road supports the old slur: Give an Englishman a bit of tin and he’ll do something stupid with it.
Enjoyable post, thanks.
Thank you too, Don
Nice photo collection Mick, I always assumed any Jag parked near a pub belonged to landlord or local turf accountant π I await your magnum opus “White Vans of the Isle” !!
Thanks, Peter
May I buy a black-&-white print of ‘1974. Prestonβs Road (Jan Traylen)’, please? ..The ship’s nose and the Jag. It’s brilliant!
Jan Traylen’s photos are available to buy on Alamy

The photo of the Gun 1980’s was taken right outside my nan and grandads house.
