I spot a Harvest Gold Marina Coupe and a Standard Vanguard.

Looks like a Maxi on the right as well.

Agree, or a Scimitar.

Quite sure it's an SS1

Swage line is wrong for a SS1

[52classic]

I'll go with TR7 also. I think the windscreen is too raked for an SS1.

What about the red saloon next to the Marina? Looks Vauxhall/Opelish to me.

[NickGibbs]

Different angle on that blue one. Maybe TR7 is right



the different Maps angle also shows a pretty little coupe

[TonyRPH]

The bonnet looks to be a little too rounded for a TR7 - I'd almost go with MX5 myself.

Oops.. after zooming it in and a bit of enhancement it's definitely a TR7

The little red one is a Spitfire. Mk 4 I think.

Yep: sandglow Maxi.

Wonder what year it is? (Early hydrolastic or later hydragas)

That C pillar vent says Marina Saloon to me.

We're like petrolhead CSI on here, innit

[52classic]

Dapster, based on that c pillar vent I'd agree with you but the rear window is flatter than a Marina and looking at the boot shape (albeit that it is open) on the earlier photograph I am not so sure. Skoda Estelle I thought, then Saab 99 but no.

And that Standard Vanguard/Ensign....... Sometimes when I view it I see a 70's Audi 100. I think I mean a C1 F104.

Or is it a TR8?

It can't be an F104, it has still got a wing on...

If it is, then as a RHD convertible, it would be ultra rare.

Well done! That's part of a set that's definitely taken of the same stash of cars

Dear oh dear.

Why do they let them get like that?

So they mature like a good vintage wine and increase in value (according to the owners).

The first picture of that Miura is ace.
