    Yes. I believe this is the last iteration of the GAZ Volga that ended production in 2010.

    There used to be a few of these Volgas around in London mainly driven on Polish or Hungarian plates, but I haven't seen one for a long while.

    We keep seeing pictures of Hillman Minxes that we sent to you, well here is one that came back to London - apparently the plate is from Kirkuk in Iraq and was photographed at some time in the fifties in London - different times...

    Simca 1300/1500?

    Yup,it's a 1967 Simca 1500, thr 1200 looks just like it. This was really the last gasp of Simca in the US but very few came over here. it looks Italian rather than French to me, in fact it resembles a contemporary Lancia Flavia.

    Sunderland County Durham circa 1967

    Sorry this one is so grainy but it shows two relatively unusual vehicles

    The prewar/postwar car is some kind of Wolseley, in a style that would be similar to a ~1933-34 USDM car.

    Sunderland Durham pic has what appears to be a Humber wagon/estate (Super Snipe?) second from right, that must be one of the unusual cars.

    The Alvis TD21 coupe that I posted here last week sold on BaT for $21,500.

    Alvis seems like a really good deal, maybe impeded by what is probably a big PITA to move it across the border during the current unpleasantness.

    Lemko's car looks like a 39 Hupmobile, last of the line - they had uniquely shaped/set headlights.

    That’s correct. It’s a 1938 Hupmobile Six. Actually the last Hupmobile was the 1941 Hupp Skylark based on the Cord 812 platform. There were only a handful produced along with the Graham Hollywood that shared the same platform.

    Yes Fin

    it's a Humber Super Snipe Estate - I thought the other interesting vehicle was the little van ....

    And the Wolseley 25 Mk III was one of about twenty made postwar, probably from parts held in the factory as it was a 1938 model - they made a few hundred up to 1939 - but got tiny differences postwar

    Van maybe based on a DAF?

    I forgot about the Hupp Skylark, not sure if I have ever seen one, maybe on my A-C-D trip.

    Nice-looking prewar car. Of course we don't see those in this thread usually.

    Yes the van was a DAF and that was quite unusual in early 1960s England - we did get the car - first the Daffodil / 600 and then the 33 which was derived from it - but vans were less common and would've been quite unusual then really

    In the line at left, toward the back, looks like an Austin-Healey 3000 in front of a maybe 67 Mustang (with a dark hood).

    Not surprised by the Beetles, am surprised by the Squire.

    At Woodstock on the far side of the carriageway, is the wagon behind the dark VW an early Chevy II?
    And beyond that I see a beat up 54 Chevrolet.

    What is the light blue panel truck? I’m thinking a 59ish Apache or Suburban.

    60 Ford wagon appears to have a non-stock two tone, maybe some kind of commercial livery (factory two tone had hood and sides the same color). My dad's car was red and white, actually came from CA and I want to say was a California-built car.

    Blue and white coupe driving towards the right is a 68 Ford, LTD I think as a non-XL Galaxie didn't have hidden headlights, and all XL hardtops were fastbacks.

    62 T-Bird in front of the El Camino, I think a significant amount of cigar birds were a shade of silvery blue.

    I always thought the cigar Birds were the best-styled of them all. A shame they were such heavy barges.

    I believe that is a '63 though it is difficult to tell since the '64 was very similar.
