The "WTF is that?" thread

The car at the back is an Allard K2, so previous posts were on the right track.   I had no idea what any of them were at first, just a vague idea that the racy red and blue thing may be a Healey Silverstone but its grill doesn't match and doesn't  appear to match other suggestions in that respect.  I would not have discovered the Edwards R26 - never heard of them!

The white car at the front is an Edwards R26.  Edwards was a short-lived American company making sports cars.  The red car appears to be a Giaur 750 Sport, but I can't be one hundred percent certain.  The black car is a little bit difficult, but I have a feeling it's a Simca 8.  But I'm pretty sure the light blue car is an Allard K2.

I think Simca 8 Sports Cabriolet is right. About 1950 and raced and rallied in period. Bodies in that style designed and made by Facel Métallon who went on to make Facel Vega cars.

The pale blue-grey car on the left of the photo, any ideas?  It's the 1960s, so that does narrow things down a bit.

Market Straat, Central Business District, Scarlett Johanesburg.  By Eloff St and Joubert St.  That building seems to have been remodelled but it's blue clad twin is still there one block up and looks like this:    https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@-26.2044169,28.0448315,3a,75y,12.07h,89.52t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s-MdE2xypGvbe9v394jBtbg!2e0!5s20250201T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fcb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26pitch%3D0.47873299739728736%26panoid%3D-MdE2xypGvbe9v394jBtbg%26yaw%3D12.071775102406285!7i16384!8i8192?hl=en&entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDIxMS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D
