Bonus American car on the right. Not a Tri-Chev, not sure what it is ATM. Riley 1500 looks a bit fucked already. Maybe still around.

Microcar of some sort. Think I have another pic, maybe same car.

its an AC Acedes Invalid car  

either a MoH Model 57 if petrol, or MoH Model 64 if electric

[JeeExEll]

All interesting. This is the other pic I had, it's in full Technicolour but I don't think anyone will mind as it's Saturday night.

I have a street pic of one of these in the files somewhere, turning left at a busy city junction, but it's probably a well known pic anyway.

[LightBulbFun]

please do post it regardless incase I have not seen it  

I THINK the one in the BW picture might be an electric one as I dont think the electric ones  have the louvers the petrol ones have and I dont see any louvers on the one in the BW picture

but Ill have to double check that

(I have some detailed pictures of an Electric AC Acedes but im not on my main computer atm)

Try Studebaker !

Pic I was thinking of. Not same car but similar type and blue. Didn't know it was made by AC. Looks like something out of Doctor Who.

Quick, switch it back to black-&-white before someone notices.

What are those tail-lights from? First thoughts were Singer Vogue / Humber / Daimler Dart but I was wrong.

Aston Martin DB4?

ah cool that is an AC Petite, still a neat photo  

people commonly think that the AC Acedes and AC Petite are related

but aside from having a somewhat similar appearance looks they are completely different vehicles

BTW here's the rearward picture of an Electric AC Acedes and indeed no louver vents

'Additional unexpected features - the front sidelights come on when passenger door is opened'. Yerrrrr, ok, that's still a pass.

The car in the foreground has the facelift grille, but the one behind has the original style.  Presumably the one behind is a van, unless it's typical BL quality control!
