Excellent Woollarding from Gareth Hunt there.
Good spot ! Purdey has tried but missed the bumper.
Looks like Steed has tried too, then realised Broadspeed removed the bumper.

I believe that is a "semi Woollard" - front on. The correct MCC approved pose is a 90 degrees to the front bumper, Here's a picture from the coaching manual. In chapter 2 you learn how to place your left elbow on your left leg whilst in the elevated position.

I think if Purdey had gone full Woolard the resultant phot may not have been publishable wink

It would have been a Instinct Basic instinct moment... but she's to classy for that.

Around 1978/9 Steed's Jag was sitting in the showroom of Loxleys on Bromley Common. I recall it wasn't in great condition and had a flat NSF tyre.

If I recall correctly, it was being restored at Cheshire Classic Cars when they closed down. I don't remember reading what happened to it after that. It's not showing as taxed or MOTed, and most of the stuff I can find on line is either about the programme, or around the time in 2015 when H and H sold it as a barn find.

What's in front of the brown Volvo 340 on the right? And come to that, what's on front of the Escort estate to it's left, big Peugeot 604?

Looks like something Japanese in front of the Volvo, maybe a Datsun Cedric.
Mercedes coupe in front of the Escort estate?
