Goings on in Eastbourne

The Grand Parade, Eastbourne

What caught my eye on this postcard was the little Renault 4CV parked up close and cosy to the Jaguar.  Not what I would have expected in this scene.

I wondered when Renault stopped making them and looked it up on Wikipedia (July 1961) and what did I find? A photo of a 4CV and a Jaguar! Is there something going on I don’t know about?  I’m going to be on the look out from now on for any Anglo-French shenanigans.

Sorry about the clarity of the postcard – the original is fuzzy too. On the back it says “Telephone 2740 Eastbourne” which I guess was number of the Cavendish Hotel.

  1. Ah! That Renault 4CV drove the long way from its Eastbourne parking space to the Warren House Inn (22nd October). Jaguar there?…
