I think its a Vauxhall 101. Forerunner of the Victor from distinctly distant memory..

[iva cosworth]

After looking at Images,maybe not.

It's a god damn morris marina

Who called it an escort?

[Quinny]

Early Opal Kadett???

Agreed, though I think it's just the way the strong sunlight is reflected that makes the grille look wrong.

Unusually, the front number plate is mounted below the bumper. Imagine it placed above and your looking at a Mk1 Escort.

The corona had round headlights but an unusual choice mayby an early jap car don't think it's a ford escort or Vauxhall though.

[forsure]

Look at where the front indicators are: on the bodywork above the bumper. Got to be an Escort.

Could be the light. Also indicators above bumper.

Vivas indicators were below bumper I think

Looks like a Vauxhall Cresta to me..!

[Mr MXT]

I'm 100% sure it's a Routemaster. Very popular in London, even today.

Ot how modern does that silver van look parked on the left.


Also how much traffic? Show a pic of doncaster in the 60s and you'd see two cars

The indicators are below the bumper on the Hillman not above it like in the photo

I think it is, though I am not sure what's going on with the grille. Looks like a Ford oval?
