Old cassette-tape recording of 'Motor vehicle' with engine running, possible taxi. Recorded circa 1983, onto a Memorex 120 cassette, using a transistor radio/tape recorder (Ghetto Blaster) with built-in left & right microphones. 20 seconds is all that remains extant on what was longer at one time. If I remember it was recorded late at night outside my bedroom window, I'm quite sure it was a taxi. Location: Middlesbrough, England, UK.
