Classic mug- guess the car!

Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

Classic mug- guess the car!

Just made a nice cup of tea in this-

Dredged up from the very back of a cupboard and forgotten about for some years......... a pretty poor artistic rendition but I reckon its a Granada- common on the oval in the late 80's, early 90's.

Nice one - that is truly a classic tea mug. Awful - but classic! ;)

Anybody got any more? :D :D

I have Bristol Classic Car Show mugs from every year between 1986 and - istr - 1992 but I didn't unpack these last time I moved house which was only nine years ago so photos may not be posted any time soon.

I also have a couple of R1 Roadshow mugs but sadly, the subjects of their artwork were less careful than Mike Read in the way they conducted themselves back in the day so I don't think posting images of those would be right & proper and that really only leaves the late Mrs' Wicked Willie "Coffee, tea or me?" mug which has a cartoonish drawing of a gigantic penis on it so that too should probably stay off the record.
