Description:Shay Bartley, Andy’s younger brother poses with the Ford Zodiac parked outside the small factory, known as the ‘Locstitch`, just a few doors down from the Bartley’s home in Mary Street. Note the two-tone colour scheme and the obligatory white walled tyres. Shay sports a Brylcreamed hair style so typical of the period, perhaps the inspiration for the 70’s musical Grease?
