Is that a 60's ford taunus centre stage with bonnet open?

Looks like it, also see the early attempt at a Del Boy Trotter Reliant Robin replica, and the BarkasB1000  camper van, wonder where its owners had traveled from?

Probably, rather than a Mk 2 Tina or Corsair. There's some shoddy parking there

Delboy's was a Reliant Supervan III,  i.e. the van version of the Reliant Regal 3-30 saloon.  The later Reliant Robin had a different chassis, body and interior and a 750cc engine (the Regal 3-30's was 701cc).   Later still, the Robin had 850cc.  

The car with the  bonnet open does appear to be a Ford Taunus 17m P5 (possibly a 20m) but I can't see the distinctive suspension strut bracing pressings in the rather grainy, pixelated photo. 

I think it's an Opel Rekord C

@MiniMinorMk3 An interesting suggestion, given the poor quality of the posted photo.  I tried hard to 'see' the car in question as a Rekord but there's something about the proportions and front bumper/indicator area that doesn't work for me.  I'm still seeing a P5 Taunus, perhaps because we had one when based in Germany, but the Rekords were easy to distinguish despite also having slightly upturned front bumper ends.  We need a clearer photo of that car in the carpark 😀.
