Maybe Gosford ?

My mum had a Hillman. Very old car, but I was only young. It was yellow and when the Eels got into a grand final, the kid next door dressed the car (didn’t ask) up with streamers and taped the words ‘up the eels’. Yes I know what you are all thinking, wrong team. I agree.

My mum had a Hillman too, grey from memory, when I was a kid. Possibly her first car.

I bought a PYE system, something similar to the bottom one, as my first major purchase when I first started working, on a hire purchase deal, as it was fairly pricey at the time.
