    Triumph. TR2? Or is it a 3?

    Looks like an MG TF and MGA next to it

    The Triumph is a TR-3A. Next to it is an MG-TD in A rare two-tone paint scheme. Next to that is a Jaguar XK-150

    The car everyone is looking at might also be a Jaguar. Can only see one headlight and a vertical bumper piece.

    Weird seeing new 2CVs with a “modern” Citroen. GS. Guess this is about 1970?

    There's a light blue CX on top, so it could be mid 70's.
    The GX is the blue car on the bottom.

    I thought so too. Apparently [non-permissible content removed] was possible at one time to buy either a new 2CV or a GS. I'm not sure what the yellow car on top is. I'm guessing one of the many variants of the Citroen Ami. The truck is a DAF, madein Holland.

    Regarding the 2CV transport the yellow car on the top is a Citroen Dyane and the orange 2CV is a special edition which I think was called Spot - it appears on the decal on the orange strip along the door.

    They did sell that model in the UK as the first of their special editions when they were reintroducing the 2CV to Britain.

    Back in the fifties and early sixties there were Citroens assembled in England including the DS and ID range and even a special for the UK called the DW which had more traditional dashboards etc

    The smaller cars Citroen sold here were Ami and later the Dyane but the old 2CV was dropped in about 1958 so it wasn't until we were back in Europe that we got them again - and they sold in large numbers here too..

    Citroen tended to have a lot of specials _ indeed I think B Leyland got the idea of all those MIni special editions from the 2cv /Dyane variations.

    Misaligned hood was typical of the era>

    Judging from the incorrectly painted hood tach, I’d say the misaligned hood is more typical of a sloppy restoration.

    the did look like that from the factory though so could go either way!

    based on the lack of side marker lights looks like a 1967 Firebird.

    The presence of vent windows confirms the model year.

    Procedure for closing the hood on my '68 Le Mans....
    1. Close hood.
    2. Press down on the hood's rear corner, driver's side, otherwise that rear corner was in a slightly raised position.

    Same thing on my '68 Cutlass, except you had to push the passenger rear corner down slightly. The '68 GM A-body hood hinges were apparently designed by an intern (or maybe a drunk, who knows) as they had multiple issues. The '69 model year brought on a redesign.

    67 Bird. My hood was raised in the back right corner, had to push it down to get it to align properly. I believe the hood tachs were painted to match the car, so probably was added on by the owner.

    Obviously an early1960s Ferrari. That a GTO?

    It's a 1963 Ferrari 250GT SWB (short-wheelbase berlinetta). Introduced in 1959 the SWB was the most popular Ferrari of that time. Although it was designed for street use it was often raced usually with optional aluminum coachwork). One story is that Stirling Moss won a GT race at Goodwood while listening to classical music on the car radio.

    The SWB also was the basis for other well-known Ferraris of that era. The California Spider used the same chassis and mechanicals and the 250GTO used a more powerful motor paired with chassis modifications for racing and a sleeker body..

    Skoda Octavia (plate was a good hint, MB is probably Mlada Boleslav, where they were made, 1959 probably the year of the car).
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,682
    You're on the ball, Fin. It's a first gen1959 Skoda Octavia. Like many cars popular across the ocean it was never exported to the USA.

    Interestingly, there were private imports, back when that was a thing and a viable small business. I found this ad online - I am certain I have seen similar in period National Geographics:





    I wonder how many originally sold stateside are still running.

    The sVS is a bit of a mystery car. The only reference to anything close to it I could find was an Alfa model, but it didn’t look anything like what’s in that ad.
