I'm intrigued with how it got it up there ? ..and what he's possibly doing  ..possibly rust prevention with whatever is in the jerry-can  ..diesel ?

He could be rustproofing the chassis members, easy access to all (the body, of course, is plastic). It looks like the two axle stands have pivots on them and he has some sort of wind up jack to lift it, with the addition of the tripod to take the weight. They only weigh 615kg so it should be perfectly safe, a truly professional job.

Hello - so moved to see this photo of my grandfather. He entered Daimler as a apprentee in 1911, at the age of 16, and spent his career in Coventry - Radford, after a 3 year interruption as a soldier during WWI, until his retirement in 1963. He is remembered for being the Engineering team leader of the Scout light armoured vehicle produced as from 1939. 

I'd love a copy of this photo to share with my father who is 93, if you have it in better quality. Thanks for the sharing. Mike.

Alas the post is from 2018. I can't remember where the photo was on the web. Try the search engines.

Quick guess without checking anything out,

starting bottom left,

- Ford Galaxie from around 1966, Mk2 Tina, Austin A55 van, Mk2 Escort, Bedford? 

Maxi, Opel or German Ford thing, early 68/69ish  Chevy Camaro with a stripe, FB Victor, possibly Austin A40 van or maybe SAAB estate?, far right too blurry,

Maxi middle left, 

very blurry top lefy has  Landy, maybe a Datsun, bus (I don't know buses), maybe white Mk1 Escort,

possibly Range Rover top right, and maybe another Maxi or Fiat 124.

Many guesses, room for improvement, other opinions welcome, etc  Any background info on pic?, it's an interesting mix with the American cars.

What's the round thing on the lower windscreen passenger side?  Saw one of these on another late 60s pic recently but couldn't make it out.  Little cooling fan stuck to the screen?  Don't know, it's not an accessory I've seen before.
