Part ing Shot : Brought to you by Old Classic Car.

The vintage-era
greetings card,

produced by W.

McKenzie & Co. of

London, isn't dated,
but the style of car

suggests early

1920s. The lucky
motorists, or

aspiring motorists,

to receive this card
were Mr and Mrs

Ernest Hawkins,

sent by Mrs Alfred
Roberts - perhaps a

fellow motor-car

owner and driver.

The inside of the
card includes a

small painting of a

snowy village
scene, and a verse

wishing health,

happiness and

prosperity to its
recepient.

It's interesting to
note that motoring

breakdowns tended

to feature in
Christmas greeting

cards for many

78 years.
