The estate car at the front of the queue has me stumped. The American design influence got me guessing a mid-Sixties Opel or Wartburg but Google has revealed nothing. The rounded-off square headlightdesign is rather like Packards of this era but again I've had no success on t'interweb. So I thought I'd ask more knowledgeable peeps on PH.

I'm sure it'll be solved within a few minutes smile

When I did my apprenticeship back in mid/late 60's in Romford they had one of these as a company car for the maintenance engineer to use running between factories. Two tone white and green. Seem to recall (memory could be wrong) that it was Mk2 consul running underneath? (or perhaps Consul/Classic)

Just for fun it would be interesting is somebody could identify all the cars in the picture or, at least, as many as the naked eye could manage.

Corsair 2000E V4, and check out the old Mk3 Zeff behind it. Haven't seen either of these for a year or 2. What's the car upper left, an Alfa?
