More about this scene
The swinging sixties are still a little way off, but times are changing. Only one of the boys is wearing shorts; the other three are in jeans, which were becoming readily available at around 7s 6d a pair. The roads are free of traffic, but again 1962 would usher in changes. In November the chancellor slashed purchase tax on new cars from 45 per cent down to 25 per cent. The following year car sales topped the million mark for the first time at 1,030,694 vehicles.
