A deafening silence when it comes to identifying cars at Weymouth in 1953.
Could it be an Austin Sheerline bottom left, or something more exotic, like a Hooper-bodied Roller? The sporty-looking saloon in middle-left - Triumph Dolomite? Definitely a Morris 8hp in the mix, and the pale car behind the Dolomite (?) could be an Austin 10 or 12..
PS the more I look at the Sheerline the more I think it's a Roller. There's an A40 Somerset there and in the distance the car parked at an angle to the quay - Austin 16 ?

and maybe a Light 15 rather than a Dolomite ?

I'd agree with the Sheerline. A Hooper would be a long shot though. Definitely a 100e next, not a clue on the next one but I'll sat Citroen Light 15 next, followed by a pre-war Hillman Minx, then an A40 Somerset. Not a clue about the last one in the left side row.
Just a suggestion that the van facing us in the distance could be a Jowett.

Don't mind a good harp at all! You make a good point about the slimness of the Citroen but the fuel filler of the Triumph is too high and the Crossley headlamps don't seem far enough forward, Wheels, headlamps and fuel filler fit the Citroen proposition but I'm doubting that choice more and more.
What else though?

I’m not very good on the early ones. Looks like a Ford Consul right at the back.Could it be an Austin Sheerline bottom left, or something more exotic, like a Hooper-bodied Roller?

The motorcycle could be an early Honda cub.
