Snapshots of Cars On The Streets of London in the 1980s

In the 1980s Peter Marshall was walking about London taking pictures of cars

Peter Marshall  has taken us around London the 1980s, showing us graffiti in London, garages, sex shops, the West End, the East End and all parts between. Our focus here is in the cars on London’s roads in the 1980s. David Rostance took his pictures of London cars in the 1970s. And this continues the theme into the following decade:
