Hi,
Who makes (made?) Town & Country tyres, way back in the 1960s/1970s? The manufacturers promised to pay your recovery costs, if you got stuck (on the road) in a vehicle wearing them.
Does anybody here remember the snow at the beginning of December, 1967? I was still settling into Civvy Street, after 9 years in the RAF. We were living in "holiday flat", Winter rent, in Pevensey Bay (Eastbourne), but I had got a job in Croydon (60 odd miles away), and had found a flat in West Croydon, while Barbara was in Eastbourne General Hospital, trying to dislodge our daughter (Sara ... who is now a bank manager in Head Office, Milton Keynes).
So Barbara was in hospital in Eastbourne, and I had moved into the flat in Canterbury Road Road, West Croydon.
And then it snowed. The South Coast was cut off for three days. But my trusty £100 1959 Singer Gazelle convertible got me there and back, every evening. The A22 was empty (but ... er ... interesting). The Ward Sister gave me special dispensation to arrive after visiting hours.
Luckily, the snow had cleared before the two ladies were discharged from hospital.
The Singer was on mundane rubber.
Remember that virtually any diameter wheel is available to fit Land Rover stud pattern.
