Eye-catching black and whites

Can't be sure on the 2CV flankers, but the white car next to the Ponton looks like a "Buckel" G73A Taunus (1948-52)

 

Well done! That's a new one on me.  I don't recall ever seeing one when I lived in Germany for three years (1966-69).  We often went shopping in Eindhoven - we were just across the border at Bruggen and later Wegberg.

Left of the 2CV is a Dauphine, to its right is a Fiat 1100/103.

It's no wonder you didn't see a Buckeltaunus in the late 60s.

 

Besides, the "DKW" is a Ford Anglia.

Hawker Hart over the Medway

Looks like it is flying over the Shorts seaplane factory just upstream from Rochester Castle

Those traffic lights, colloquially known as "tin lanterns", are highly sought after by collectors now.

The Anglia has a DKW badge on the front  .  The fronts are similar though.

I'm guessing you know the area well through your sailing? I've re-uploaded the pic which had been mysteriously cropped through the ether, it's now as it should've been.

We used to sail upstream of Rochester when I was  a kid and Dad had a small boat on which we could lower the mast to get under the town bridges (which used to be two railway and one road but are now two road and one rail). The factory was still there I think but not used by Shorts. Now its all housing and the M2 motorway crosses the river in the top RH corner of your pic.

I could be totally wrong but don't see where else it could have been. We would see Rochester and its bridges, castle and cathedral but they are obscured by the plane if I am right.

That's clearly a DKW, but the car in the third row is an Anglia.

What a truly great piece of architecture, sadly it looks like it's now gone.

The original looked more like a C19th farmhouse - for many years one of the main activities was the unloading of horse shit from London, which was used in the many nearby market gardens and orchards. Paper from the Cray valley mills would go in the other direction.,

Which station was that?

A local vehicle hire firm has put up a couple of pictures on a local history Facebook page from the early 1980s when they were operating out of a portacabin next to Barnstaple train station - they're a lot bigger now with premises on a commercial estate and the site is now the station's car park.

 

 

 

I know nothing of the lorries but always enjoy a Mk2 Transit.  They did a nice line in Cavaliers, too.

Yes, the DKW which I chose to ignore for row counting seemed to be forming a private row which would have made the Taunus, Anglia, Ponton etc. row number 4.  Marvellous photo. When I rode my Peugeot BBct moped to Eindhoven, some barsteward pinched my small saddle bag containing the plug spanner.  I bought a new one and it also was stolen a few weeks later, this time at Venlo.  Roermond mopedists were not so light fingered.

The lorries are Bedford TK's & ford D series

Death or Diesel rattle?

Found this on Hemmings Blog, 1980ish electric car that didn't make it into production probably because GM were afraid of upsetting fuel companies. I give you The Silver Volt

I would have put it in the electric cars thread but a) its probably already there and I found this thread first after scrolling through pages for ever.

Good point! The date was included in the caption in the 1998 book I scanned these pictures from, "Reigate & Redhill Past & Present" by Keith Harding, who presumably is not a shiter!

The Ford Shop.

For Ford people.

May be Plymouth area.

Just walk in and buy a new Anglia right out of the box.

- 'Petrol Sir?, - certainly, how much would you like'.

 

Fantastic.

That ford pubic in the pond looks to be a 2000E judging by the pillar badge.
