Could almost be an Eton Mess except it's in Naarf London?

I love the utter dejection in the stance of the milkman and the pollarded trees (don't see that so much these days)

The image I nicked from https://expressdairytales.uk/ed-retail-london-and-south-1974-and-before - they've popped that 1948-50 caption on the picture and I'd agree that it's too early for the cars but, seeing as it's pre-internet then (in a few years) it'll be a 'fact'

Jeez - Procrastination Tuesday  
Here's another from Express Dairies - is that a bucket of milk in the boot? I was thinking the car was an Allegro but the window line is all wrong - AlfaSud? Site says this is 1975 - Mk 1 Capri?

As SCC says, Marina Coupe. The bucket is probably when she carries rear seat passengers as it stinks of sour milk and the wollowy suspension does not help.

Good car if you can find one - OHC engine and hydraulic brakes - rare for the 30's.

Oooh - I'd forgotten about Marina Coupes, proper crumpet pullers until surpassed by the Allegro Equipe

(Actually, I should not be too sarcastic as teenage me & my mates would have had either car at the drop of a hat)

Early example  of crumple zones in action. The big barge (Impala?) has used the entire front of the smaller car as it’s crumple zone.

It's like a 1950s American shiter meet! The three wheeler behind the utility pole is presumably a Davis Divan.

Crumple zones seem to be working.
