I think the Greenbrier looks the best one

Yep, agree on the Greenbrier one. It's the best put-together and warmest one of the lot as well.

The 6ts pic is interesting as it is taken during the lights period i.e only two mirrors but l dont think that it is a pic of Glenn in the 6ts. .

Some early attempts at protection from Coronavirus.

Not sure if they would work, but looks better than some recent attempts l've seen on the news i.e a bucket on the head and a Tesco bag for life with holes in it.???

Love this pic from the mid 90's, lads who DJ'd on Mod rallies that I used to attend, it looks natural and shows that it wasn't just the originals that had the look to a T. This was in the period just before it got too Austin Powers ish, where the rallies became more of a 60's thing rather than pure mod, with sussed skins and suedes in the mix.

L to R, "Mad" Mick Taylor, Lee Burns from the Midlands/Brum, "Catford" Chris Dale, yes you've guessed it from Catford. As far as I know they are still active on parts of the scene and still spinning the vinyl, but haven't seen any of them for years.

Nice one Yorkie , it sounds like every Mod crew had a "Mad" Mick , although to be fair , the Mad Mick you knew was certainly a better dresser than the one l knew . .
