Late 60s.  Cortina had a V8, from memory a 289 or a 302,  and it was called the Fraud Cortina.  Some more info on old saloon car racing websites.

Bits of Glasgow still look like that, minus the seventies motors and flares. Flytipping is certainly still a popular sport.

Volvo's PV 800 series was in production from 1938 to 1958 and was mostly aimed at the Taxi market. The pictures below are of the latest model PV 831-834 these had 3.6 liters 6 cylinders flat head engine and coulumn change gearbox. And were well known for being extremely durable and reliable many were still in taxi use well into the 70's.

 

Volvo also used this model as a base for the Volvo TP 21 (1953-1958) which had a 4x4 and was for the Swedish Armed Forces.

At first I thought this was a one way street. But there is a van parked with it's rear doors facing the camera. So WTF is the Bedford doing in the middle of the road?
