These cars look like they were at most 10 years old at this event, did cars have that short lifespan actaully in UK at that time?

[@Me-zo8yc]

Yes, because of rust

@@Me-zo8yc & low resale value! Especially big Viscount/ Crestas, Westminster's, Humber's( even though they were powerful & nicely trimmed) Rover P4 & 5 & Zephyr/ Zodiacs.

Sometimes even shorter.

I bought my first car, a 1964 Vauxhall Victor, in 1975. It was as rotten as a pear and already full of body filler. Engines scarcely got past 50,000 miles.
