I like the Volvo 145 parked next to the Jensen. Can't see any other foreign metal.
Might be a BMW 2002 parked in the middle of the upper deck, reversed in. Might be a Merc reverserd in a the end of the upper deck.
Volvos had lots of UK parts then.
Loving those snow pictures, and remembered about the frozen milk.

I was very surprised to learn they built something similar in Woolwich in 1961 - the autostacker. Lasted about 24 months. Only cost several hundred thousand pounds...in 1961 money.You can see it at the end of this newsreel;

Interseting video, my wife lived in one of those blocks when I met her, they were sooo cold in the winter, they had electric underfloor heating that you couldn't afford to run. You can see it at the end of this newsreel;

As for the autostacker, it was never properly used as a car got stuck in there and they couldn't get it down, it stayed there for a couple of years and eventually they pulled the lot down.

Must be a motorised telegram boy, you can pick out his cap badge under the snow. I think he's mounted on a Puch moped and I bet he can't feel his hands!Have looked at PO bikes, Raleigh Supermatic/ Runabout/RM5 none of which look quite the same

A quick google makes me agree with you; can anyone identify the 4th car in the background? Or agree/disagree with my tentative T identification?No real idea on the landaulet - Sunbeam maybe?
