We spotted dad’s Ford Prefect — on a John Hinde postcard

Conor Healy got a real blast of nostalgia one day when he was browsing through postcards at a shop in Youghal.

There, taking centre stage in a fabulous colourful photograph of Youghal Strand by famed photographer John Hinde, was the old Ford Prefect (circled above) that had belonged to his late father, Paddy Healy.

“When we saw the number — ZB 6767 — we knew it was his,” says Conor, of Dripsey, Co Cork.
