Yep.

 

Besides, I can't identify a single car in the pic.

 

I bought a couple older cards recently and I’m the same with them.

 

Might the dark one on the left be a Riley of some sort? It has that slight drop in the line along the bottom of the windows, like this example:

The light-coloured car second from left in the Baslow photo, next to the Riley, looks like a Triumph, similar (give or take a spare wheel cover) to the 1934 Gloria seen here.  The drophead coupé that comes next looks slightly later - I wonder if it might be a Hillman Minx, but I can't make out enough of the grille to be sure one way or the other.

Austin A40 Devon or Dorset, depending upon door count.    Yanks gobbled up most of the 2 door Dorsets so odds on it be a Devon.   Is that an actual Ramses on the Alex card?

 

Yep, Ramses.

 

Skoda Octavia estate on the Southport pic.  No VAGshite here, oh no.

 

You lost that war, there is a VW 1500 further back.

I may have posted these before, but here are more from Rotten Row, Southport:

That Avenger appears on another card, my guess is that it was the photographer's. As such, I feel he's having a bit of a game and that there may be more which feature it.
