The A70 proportions are slightly different and there's a crease over the front wheel arch.
Definitely an A40 Somerset like the one I came home from the maternity ward in (apparently)! The A70 certainly did have different proportions and the "Austin of England" badge on the top of the front wings on the A70 weren't flush to the bodywork, there was a "void" behind them.

Yeah, I almost got stuck at Manchester Airport when I returned from a holiday in Tenerife in October 1973 to find no fuel available. I was in my company car, a Fiat 124. It was very unusual for companies to supply non British built cars at the time.Nice Jensen CV-8 nestled in amongst the largely British tin.

CV8 looks like its got aftermarket alloys on it as well, Woolfie slot mags perhaps?The black rear panel on the white Mk3 Cortina driving away from camera on the far right of shot identifies it as a rare GT version.

Is it a Simca between the Morris 1000 and Jag?
