One of the strange things about the rear-engined Renault range was having the fuel tank filler being in the engine bay. I always thought this somewhat dangerous, with the possibility of petrol being spilt on a hot engine!  

What is probably more dangerous than the hot engine being near where you fill the fuel, Is the lady driver's fag hanging between her fingers as the guy pumps the fuel, the vapour from petrol is, as we know, very very easy to ignite

@D.E Initially I  wondered whether this was clever AI imagery but it seems likely to be another India Railways - Class WG 2-8-2 steam locomotive.

 Another example of what seems to be the same type below. Nr. 8301 (North British Locomotive Works, Glasgow 26415 / 1950)  Pre-delivery photo of NBL-built Indian Railways Class WG steam locomotive Nr. 8301, being carried to the docks on an Edward Box low-loader.

I used to be given a lift to work in an Aston DB2.4, when it was my turn to drive I used a Citroen Safari.

Cool info, thanks! No description was included with my picture, but with a bit of zooming this seems to be 8350:

Quote

The first hundred units (No. 8301 to 8400) were built by North British and subcontractor Vulcan Foundry (ten units). Number 8350 was exhibited at the Festival of Britain in 1951.[6][7]

No idea, sorry. It's another picture from the national archives without any useful description whatsoever...

Architecturally, I’d say the south of England but you’d probably figured that out already.

Maybe Sussex style house, but the track?

Kettlewell Hill, Woking, Surrey.  The gent on the front footplate is Bernard Latham who was a pioneer in preserving industrial locos, in his garden, as you can see.  The locos are William Finlay, and behind it (on a different gauge) Triassic.  Both still exist, not sure where they are right now but Google will tell you.

I think the house and land have been broken up and there is new housing in what was the garden / railway area.

Switzerland by the registrations. Champion was launched in 1950 so no earlier than that - not sure if the four (maybe five) American cars in the background signify anything, I don't think there even was a US embassy in Switzerland at that time.

GM had a factory in Switzerland between ‘35 and ‘75.
