Look at that Mk I Jaguar with its flowing lines and full spats over the rear wheels! This one’s got a tow bar; I wonder what they pulled with it.
I can’t quite make out the black car in front. Looks like a Fiat perhaps or a Lancia; possibly left hand drive.
The hotel is the Lochearnhead Hotel on Loch Earn in Perthshire, Scotland. I don’t know what happened to it – it looks rather grand – but the name is now used by a much more modest family run establishment. Maybe it’s not in Lochearnhead? It’s a tiny place. Someone will know.
On the back of the postcard, which was posted on 30 August 1967, it says, “Had a very good trek yesterday – the weather cleared and was hot. I’m on a white gelding called ‘Fac Va’ [?] – has a good mouth. Heather is gorgeous…” Doesn’t say whether she was staying here or anything about the cars she’s seeing. Odd.
Looks more like a Mark 1.
Yes indeed. Thanks. I’ve corrected the text.
The black car in front is a Fiat 1300 Berlina (1962). My dad had one. Nice motor! Had the same looks as the 1959 Chevrolet Corvair and the NSU Prinz 4.
