Is that first car a very early Prefect?  The grille looks slightly wrong for a Prefect but it's too small and the styling is wrong for it to be a Pilot and it looks too big to be an Anglia/Popular.

Yes, tis a Prefect and also yes, I think it is an E93A, although the E numbers make the Mercedes W numbers straightforward ;) It is an early postwar one, i don't think they were called Prefects pre-war. The later ones after about 1950 has the built in headlamps and chrome grille. Either way they were the most horrible vehicle inflicted on the postawr motoring public; suspension taken straight off the 1908 model T, wipers that gave up the ghost as soon as they looked at a hill, and the headlamps are useful for attracting other glow worms, but that's as far as it goes.

 

On the other hand I do like the Vitegro (?), I do hope that it has the VDP picnic tables :) I would like to think that the owner got together with the Anglia rod owner and did a deal on the Maserati engine, what an off roader  8)

I am old enough that my first car was one of these Prefects. Mine had been modified though. The grille had been painted silver. It was a 1939 one and only 26 years old. That would be a 1990 model today.

Im sure I saw Sam (captain slow) handing the owner of that Allgritara a prize later in the day.

 

Think I took a pic of that P reg Mk11 Capri (with terrible paint) a few years ago, might be on here somewhere.

 

Oh and it was good to see scruff's A35 bombing about the Cambridgeshire/Lincolnshire countryside.
