I don't think we've had these yet.  Halifax, sometime from 1983 onwards.

LCX649W - untaxed since May 1996

MCP621H - untaxed since July 1987

UVR200S - also untaxed since 1987

Renault 9 was probably pretty new at the time.  Late Marina coupe in the background on the right.

Early Passat on the left?  And in the distance, what looks like a Chrysler Alpine in a fetching autoshite two-tone colour scheme!

Cortina AOW 646V - untaxed since Feb 1990

And if your were Brian Williams born in 1945, you might not have the Daimler anymore but that plate is now on a 2010 Rangie

Seems unlikely a 24 year old driving , at the earliest, a 2 year old 420. An E-Type would have been the choice of wealthy young influencers and dot.com millionaires of the day.

That mid 70s Cambridge series has some great stuff in the car park, here’s a few randoms I forgot about

So, what do we think to the blue saloon penned in by Rootes Arrows? 

At first I though PB Cresta , but then noticed the headrests. Maybe an Audi or bearing in mind Sainsbury's in Cambridge would be a good hunting ground in the 70's  for future politicians, a Volga?

Having lived up there the Pennines is hard on cars - so not surprised these did not last long.

I'm inclined to agree on PB Cresta. Is it/another one also there behind the trolleys in the first photo?

 

Yes, you're  right. In fact it's the same car, you can see the headrests. 

Must have been some of these

Its in a different space although near to a scruffy white Rootesmobile again, presumably members of staff.

I remember those slip on headrests at the time. They were quite the thing - very popular. Was the era of the driver's window deflector - a kind of perspex tunnel that clipped on the drivers side of the car and polythene 'demisters' that glued to the back window.  Hardly see any of these 'accessories' these days on on old cars. Was quite a big business this tat and there was loads of it. Presumably not seen because most of it fell apart after a very few years.

Balham 1982. Princess Margaret in a silver wraith II (plus protection officers in a Carlton?)

That Carlton is unlikely to be protection officers as the Royal Family wouldn't have had a second 'Chase car' at that time, even The Queen would usually only have one " Royal Detective" who would sit in the passenger seat of her car.  Maybe a couple of BMW R80s in London to clear traffic, that'd be it. More likely the car of that senior copper hovering in the background .

i did a couple of courses in the 90's, run by former Met diplomatic officers and from their stories it was a pretty cushy and laid back job, can't imagine it is these days.

Whats that in the disabled bay? I first thought Volvo 360 but on second looks it isn't.

Renault 5 TL F581 SLU survived until February 2004, lasting just under 15 years, having been registered in April 1989.
