Slightly battered old Triumph. 

 

Looks like it has a Manchester coded "limited use" trade plate which was white on red.  I don't know when they were phased out or indeed why they were limited compared to the more common "General Use" red on white ones.

Last stop on the 1961/62 Manchester tour ends at this lovely garage.

Vauxhall small hatchback prototype, a sort of Chevette predecessor.  I think I've seen those photos on Vauxpedia.

[JeeExEll]

Yes, a Vaux hatchback prototype from the days of the HB Viva, which did end up in a roundabout way as the Chevette in 1975.

UK prototype was built from a shortened HB Viva estate.

More info in the Vauxpedia labyrinth.

This looks like a staged publicity photo for the RAC. Not Lambretta.
