Is the lower picture that of a Jowett Javelin? There are shades of an early D.K.W. in there, too.  I.F.A. cars of that era were almost identical, although less common.

Looks like a Javelin to me, the badge at the top of wing looks like it says Javelin although looking at pictures of them it looks like the name badge was an option as none of the pictures have one.

Also DKW's, IFA's and Auto Unions names where usually just letters and numbers rather than words.

No 34, Frith Street, junction of Old Compton Street, Soho is currently a branch of Balans Café. Somehow I don't expect there are any Vauxhall Veloxes parked outside....

I wondered why I'd heard of Frith St, thanks for reminding me it's Soho.

Or Minx convertibles...there is no car  parking there at all now. Bikers used to park on the corner but they stopped that as well...all part of the blandification of the West End.

Same spot other side of the street.

That's a nice reminder of how big a bag of cement used to be.

I used to be able to carry those about

Thanks for that @lesapandre. One of those could have been my Dad's Minx - OUC508F.

^^^ also a Halfords high street shop rather than out of town shed.

[High Jetter]

I've yet to see one with a Longlife Accessories shop though - am almost beginning to doubt I actually worked for them, very few references online.
