MICHÈLE A'COURT
That '70s SHOW!

Car of the decade!

Back up the trailer: Michèle's off down memory lane   

A Pacific island resort, a ski trip to Aspen, a tootle around the East  Cape… these are all options for a summer holiday, but are you thinking big enough? Because a friend has been fantasising about taking her annual break in – wait for it – the 1970s.

I see her point. Simpler times – or that’s how we remember this orange-and-brown corduroy of a decade. Those of us who were there can picture it and, for those of you who weren’t, let me paint you one.

You would drive into your 1970s holiday in a Morris 1100, the car we all had then unless we had a Morris 1300. White, usually, with red upholstery, manual gear stick and windup windows. There’s a handy towbar so you can borrow the neighbour’s trailer for that essential holiday activity, a family trip to the dump.
