Details: In the 1970s, London Transport service vehicles were generally retained for 10-15 years in the case of heavy lorries, 7-8 years for mid-sized vans and 4-6 years for cars and small vans. An exception was cars used as 'radio control' vehicles by bus inspectors, these normally only lasting for 2-3 years. Fairly typical of such vehicles is Ford Escort estate 2041F seen outside Norbiton Garage on 30th March 1979. Picking up on a comment I made last month, I notice that this car has dual mirrors on the offside at least.
