I was given great this photo in the late 70s. Anyone tell me more ? That looks like an XK150 FHC to the left of the Bentley and possibly an Anglia to the right ?

Thats not quite what it seems - 'blower' protruding through grille - triple SU's and bellmouths?

Not a 'blower'

It looks like a special based on a standard 6 1/2 litre. Tapered radiator and matching bulkhead from a standard 6 1/2, but looks like the chassis has been shortened and it has certainly lost it's original coachwork which would likely have been a formal saloon or similar. Triple SUs non standard also.

That's the Dynamo sticking out the front of the radiator.
