Wheel Horses To the Manor Born

Recommended Posts

My son's partner gave me the following photos taken around 1980ish. Her family owned Hasley Manor and Morton Manor on the Isle of Wight at that time.

Please don't bother sending begging PMs - the money in her family all went a long time ago!

 

Period photos of WHs like this seem quite rare so I thought I'd share them.

Dunno Mark, no good asking Annie as she wasn't born when these photos were taken. My guess would be 6 speed - after all if you can afford to live there why buy a three speed.

 

Surprised nobody has suggested what model the other might be - not that I know, but I'm guessing a C-100 based on no tail light just reflectors like mine.

A couple of great photo's there Andy, thanks for posting them. :handgestures-thumbup:

 

One question though... Why is no one smoking a pipe?    I thought everyone did in vintage Wh photos/ads! :D

I did think either a no name or early C based on the steering wheel and pto, lift decals. :)
