No doubt there are others, but these are the Classics that spring to my mind. By ‘classics’, I mean products that have remained largely unchanged for 30
years after they were first launched and they were in continuous production for those three decades too.
I plan to add images of the earlier and later versions as time permits. And obviously include other classics.
