"Tyres in Stock"

An old sign at the bottom of Wyle Cop, with evocative names giving an intriguing glimpse into a lost age of stylish and unusual transport. What is a 'Lington Cyclecar' or a 'Velocette'? I had to resort to Google to find out, and you'll have to do the same since I think it's better to preserve the same air of mystery and leave it to the imagination if that is what you prefer. My first thoughts were of various experimental and precarious vehicles being propelled around the streets by enthusiastic Edwardians.
