 They're ALL of consequence as far as I'm concerned!  ;D  This is a Batricar Mk 1 (the first proper Mobility Scooter produced in the UK) judging by what I can see of the seat and the solid wheels, dating somewhere between 1976 & 1982.  Quite a coincidance you should spot this Chris, becuse I were only discussing Batricar sthrough the ages with Cuscus47 the other day....

 I've also met the chaps who own the current Batricar company. I really must get on & research the history a bit more. They may not be interesting to many folk right now, but in thirty years time we'll wish we did it when we had the chance.....
