          I don't recall them being actually issued during the late 73 crisis (date on the second one) although they were prepared. Can't read date on the first (is it Suez? - my father had kept some of those and I've no idea what I did with them after he died).
          Remember we had a fuel-saving 50mph limit in late 73?
          Can't remember the first rally to run in 74 after the end of the crisis (last was 73 RAC?), although I can remember the first stage event to run after the 67/8 foot and mouth ban! (answer?)
          Have more vivid memories of the 79 "odd/even" gas rationing in the USA - and driving to NYC from well west of Philly and back on one tank of gas since it was not my licence plate's day for being allowed to buy any.

          You probably won't see them again. It'll just be a free for all when it all runs out and society breaks down. You're all doomed, doomed I say...

                  The second one has 29.11.73. on it (fits with post-Yom Kippur fuel crisis), The first one appears to have a 57 date stamp (fits with post-Suez).
