Post cards from Karel

An ‘Auto’biography of History

The Bridport Hotel in Bognor Regis (on the South cast of the UK between Portsmouth and Brighton). In front of the hotel is a Y-Type with license plate FRX 211. The SA Tickford (all the way on the left side of the card) has license plate AMO 601. The SA Tickford is one of the rarer MGs. A total of only 2,738 SA’s were made, before WWII, and only very few were Tickford's. What are the odds that there was a Y-Type (one of 7,459) at the hotel at the same time that there was such a rare prewar SA parked in the street? And then, what are the odds that that was also the moment that the photographer shot the postcard? Amazing! PS Note the little boy, with his hands folded on his back and bent forward, walking like he facing a strong headwind. ~~ Reinout Vogt
