4. BMW
5. Heald van/estate?
6. Reliant 3 wheeler?
7. Anglia poverty spec.

Some of those cars would be considered an argument against your reasoning.

Being an  car park next to the airport I expect that some of the vehicles belong to cabin crew.

Or possibly ground staff. Though some people do drive cars completely out of character 😏

I think 2 is a Stag and 3 a Triumph 2000/2500?

The Anglia doesn’t look too poverty spec to me.

A great picture with some great cars in it. If only modern cars were as interesting today.

2. may be the only Japanese interloper here - a 240 Cedric or similar?

3. Is possibly a little small for a Triumph 2000 - how about a 1500?

It has the grill of the standard (lowest trim of 3 levels)

The differences can be seen here.

I think so too - you'd consider yourself ultra-cool to be driving one of these in the 70's. The kind of car driven by graphic designers and university lectures etc etc.

Were these officially sold in the UK?  Even the humble 2CV wasn't offered for over a decade after Slough stopped assembling them, apart from some French built RHD ones that were diverted from being sent to Nigeria in the 1960s.  The lack of seatbelt mounts ruled them out for many years.

I imagine some Mihranis might have been privately imported.

It was good of Vauxhall to give every single mk2 Cavalier built its own publicity shots.

It  is harder to make out the cars towards the back of the photo.

Isn't that a matter of perspective?

Interesting one there...

[lesapandre]

A Pegaso? 

[barrett]

No, not a Pegaso, but maybe an Alfa Romeo or something of that ilk. I doubt the body is Spanish, but it's possible. Love the letterbox rear window.

[Remspoor]

Another interesting from the same photo. Car parked on the right of the image.

Looks like a rear engined car. The area below the rear window look like air vents. Not a Beetle. It is not a SEAT as the image is too old- The same reason it is not a Fiat either. The nearest car I could find is a Renault 4CV. However, the rear quarters are not the same plus that line would not be a 4CV.

Thank you.

Looks like I was mistaken in the rear engined theory.

Same view today - wide handsome high street closed and filled with clutter and mis-matched paving with the inevitable McDonalds to the left of shot. Progress? Bet its a charmer on a wind-swept Saturday night...

And now no place to park the Jaaag. No Rovers to be seen either...

Ford fest, a pair of MK2 cortinas the 4 Dr being a series 1 GT as it looks to have auxiliary gauges on top of dash & GT badge on rear wing.

The two tone one next to the Thames trader box truck looks to be a Clubman's rally car with an Alan Mann style lotus paint job.

[High Jetter]

Yup. Wipac 'reversing' spotlight?

Thank you for the info. The car certainly looks a bit worse for wear. The rear bumper could be a bit out of shape. The rear reversing lamp is obviously what would be used in on a rally car. The rear badging under the Cortina script looks like is is the same a the twin-cam badging used for Mk2 Cortinas.

The lorry is Essex reg with OO
