More Name That Car - hopefully Simple

[TriumphStag3.0V8]

Evening all, am trying to identify all the cars in this picture - would appreciate if the PH Massive could get their thinking caps on.

(and yes, I know the middle right is a mini - Mk 1?)

A35 on the left?

Simca Aronde?

Just googled it - certainly looks similar

[threespires]

I'd agree with the Simca.
Austin Somerset I think with the extended grille and an MG Magnette Farina behind. I'm unsure of the car on the far right.

A Riley grilled version of the Farina car was also built in Argentina and sold as a Siam Di Tella.

Far right - Ford Anglia ???

ETA
and yes Simca Aronde

That's definitely an Austin A40 Somerset on the far left (my Dad had one when I was a nipper) and a Ford Anglia on the far right.

[john2443]

Agree with Somerset.

What about the one between the MG and the Simca?

Ford consul

I thought E-series Cresta.

Once again I am stunned by the knowledge on here. Thanks all. I will add I hadn't even noticed the car in the background between the MG and Simca!

This is a pic of my late mother from the early/mid 60's, I am currently going through all her old photos. My brother and I were debating what the cars in the background were, and decided that we were not that good at identifying! Hence posting on here.

PH rocks once again.

There is another car picture I would like to get identified, will post it up when I get home tonight. :-)

Yeah I agree, could be either - is that a rear window or is it the windscreen ? If it's the rear window I think Consul.

[Turbobanana]

Out of interest, was it taken somewhere in East Anglia?

Mini's VG reg was Norfolk; the Magnette looks (if you squint) like PV - Suffolk; the A40 looks like it could be BJ - also Suffolk.

Agree the background looks like a Cresta.

The Mini is a Mk1 Morris Mini Minor 850, the corner bars on the bumpers mean it's probably a Super or Deluxe model and judging from the tone of the photo I'd say the colour is most likely Clipper Blue

I believe it was Great Yarmouth - so that would fit!

Too much useless information stuck between my ears, I have to let a bit out now and again . I had to look up the colour option though, Austin and Morris Minis had their own colour charts in the early years due to typical BMC marketing, I often get them mixed up!

[TriumphStag3.0V8]

OK, next motor. This was my dad's car in the 50's



Damnit, cannot get that picture to rotate. Even if I rotate it on my computer before uploading it still comes out like that!

Here is another angle
