A slightly odd one, this: we came across an old brochure advertising MG Magnette saloon cars dating from around 1956 featuring the following two wonderfully of-their-time images.http://boakandbailey.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/MG_Magnette_1956.jpg (http://boakandbailey.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/MG_Magnette_1956.jpg)
This is the brochure’s centrefold; the pub is the Barley Mow at Clifton Hampden (https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.653607,-1.208641,3a,75y,340.08h,79.41t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s24HAqkC-pT2kbc-IfHAJpg!2e0!7i13312!8i6656), not far from Oxford.

It’s probably in Oxford, we reckon.*UPDATE:*@guidomax (https://twitter.com/guidomax) on Twitter says this is the Crown & Thistle, Abingdon.
