This Air Mail post box would have been bright blue in colour, they only existed in the '30's. It's near the Mount Pleasant PO and sorting depot. Any idea what the car is? (all modernz look the same).

Ford Model A?

Hmmm, could be. I'm struggling to find a contemporary photo. But the ones I have found show a built in petrol tank. But they do have the curved body line, but not the recess below the window. However I'm sure there will be  several models and I'm no expert....

I think it is the US first version...maybe.

@martc My feeling is that it's a 1932 Ford Model B.  Most if not all Model As had the fuel tank in the scuttle, not the rear, whereas the Model B had a rear mounted tank (see below).  I can't find any British makes which have the same rear window proportions as the car in question.

1932 added. Model B rear view and fuel tank detail in photos.

I think it's a 1932 Ford Model B V8 Fordor.

yes a literal translation in English.

I look out....
I drink Sinalco

It really would says

I guard...

I drink Sinalco.

This is a non alcoholic drink .

Maybe best say I do not drink and drive I drink Sinalco.

DE is our Dutchman here. Maybe he can correct my poor Dutch.

Is that an estefette or pug on its side ? Splittie would fetch telephone numbers now  even in that condition compared to the other van.

Looks like an Estefette to me, the upward sweep by the lights are trypical, the Peugeot is straight here (and has corrugated sides). However, the wings don't look quite right for the Reggie -

[lesapandre]

I think it is a German made Ford Taunus Transit - 1953-65.

Wonder if he has a sticker on his bumper:

'My Other Car Was A Riley 4/68 MG Magnette'

I think it is London Bridge prior to demolition in 1967. Looking south from the City towards London Bridge Station. 

The cranes on the left are in the Pool of London - the highest navigation point on the Thames for ships.

Very different today:

No, the preferred translation for "I guard" would be "ik bewaak". "I look out" or "I watch out" is correct in this context.

Unlikely, given that's an MG Magnette..

[lesapandre]

Thanks I did wonder! The difference is very subtle generally - ah the joys of 'badge engineering'.

They really were squeezing that lemon.

"Let  me drive"

"Let's toss for it"🤔
