Two shillings and sixpence a gallon, and shots were 2d.
To explain to the younger readers shots were upper cylinder lubricants added to the petrol, a bit like reddex. 1 shot per gallon, and the shot was a squirt from the dispenser.
Cross ply tyres, drum brakes, heaters were optional extras, washers were a press button pump, etc etc
the 'good' old days???
I'm not quite old enough to remember using the pre decimal currency
