It’s 29 December 1962, and the whole of London has awoken under a blanket of snow. So much so, that even Earls Court is proving the ideal ski resort, as this wonderful snapshot shows…

Okay, so it might not be St. Moritz, but there are certainly worse excuses to take the day off work and play with your classic car…
