Found this nice shot on KAP Motor Group's site:

Doesn't immediately look like their old Folkestone premises on Cheriton High Street, possibly Ashford?

Always liked the look of these, just such a shame so few have survived

Googlefoo says Fiat 682 lorry (which makes my Italian Job joke even weaker  ) it seems to come with a snazzy chrome trim around the front - these fellas have some canvas thing tied on there, like you say.
Carabinieri have some some interesting vehicles as they tend to go overseas and perform UN duties for Italy - they have a lot of Land Rovers for some reason.

They do seem to have settled on Land Rover's as their 4x4 of choice. I go to Italy quite frequently and there's often one (Defender based) parked outside the entrance/exit of the airport.

Prior to them they would have used  Iveco Massifs or FIAT Pandas.

The Massifs have been replaced by Defenders, and, more recently these are being replaced by Discoveries and the Pandas by Suzuki Jimnys.

It's all part of the Carabinieri looking for Charlie Croker, 3 Minis and a ton of gold.
Mister Hair on the Collar with the Italian sten gun there is actually taking partial cover behind the three previously mentioned items secreted in a bus*.

 

*OK so not that exact bus 

p.s. is that a radiator shroud on the bus?

Could be a 690.

GM marketing shop I presume. Superb.

David Hemmings on the set of 'Blow Up' - Michelangelo Antonioni's film of swinging London. The Rolls features in the film - which is well worth seeing. Photos by Terry O'Neill.

I think the model needs to move one white stripe to her left so she is dead centre on the side of the car. It would stop the illusion that the rear of the car is higher up in the frame than the front.

Can't decide if that's the most blatant ringing attempt or the worst I've ever seen.

Oslo Norway in the early 1960s, and this shows the diversity of Norwegian cars at that time, here is everything from US cars to what I think is a Trabant, the only thing missing is some older cars like a Ford model A, of which there were still many off.

Elizabeth Taylor and Innocenti A40. If Liz was still with us she'd be 91...and the Farina at least 56.

My stabs of the makes: Left to right.

Volvo- German Ford- Opel- NSU- Goggomobil.

Both lorries look like Bedfords. I have no idea about the Yank Tank. Behind the right lorry is a DKW.

Near the no entry sign is another Opel and Renault.
