Like you i also identified it as a VW Beetle! Got a text from a mate of mine, he says it's a Renault 4cv, don't remember seeing any of those knocking about in the 60s.

I'd say it was a Renault 4CV, rather than a VW Beetle of the era in question (o/a 1960). Attached are images of a 1958 Renault 4CV (the outdoor shot) and a 1960 VW Beetle (the showroom shot). Compare the rear engine cowl vents, the rear lights, the rear window....... which one do you think it looks most like??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must have been pretty rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went off to live in Canada with his mum and returned to the UK 5 years later and was raised in the house next door to his Nanan with his mum and brother. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tozzin Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Why the name “ Button Lane” was there Pearl button makers here or metal button makers ? It’s not just a name plucked out of the air, it must have an explanation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lysanderix Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Could it be that it’s name derives from a Mr Button? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
