So I’ve got the maybe 2 Vauxhall’s but what is the one next to the barn like building?

Looks like the tail-end of a flatbed truck?

Cresta, Wyvern or Velox?

Yep I'd go Velox.

If the barn-type building is a garage it could be up on ramps, accounting for the seemingly high ground clearance.

Or any other flat bed lorry of the period.

I can't even think of the last time I saw a Victor estate, I wonder how many they sold.

There are lots of things missing in that photo though that we now take for granted; no double or single yellow lines, no residents' permit parking bays, no loading-only bays, no speed cameras, no bus lane, no bus lane cameras, no 'sign not in use' signs, no temporary traffic lights 'to protect the workforce' whilst they replace a paving slab on the pavement. How did people manage back then?
