Anyone think they can identify the cars?

Thanks as ever. The cars all look familiar from my childhood. The one on the left is obviously one of those cute little Austins. The one near the church... not sure, a "Humber" of some description? I think I see a dark coloured Jaguar, a dark coloured Morris Minor, the white car possibly a Ford Anglia (the old type, not the really well known one like in Harry Potter!) and finally... not sure, a Vauxhall of some description? (Vauxhall Victor seems to ring a bell?)
I hope I'm right with some of them!

OK, dad's had a look and he reckons:
L foreground - Austin A30 or A35;
Outside church - Hillman Minx:
Outside pub - Jaguar2.4 ?;
Opposite Jag - Morris Minor;
White car - Ford Prefect or Anglia;
Extreme R - Vauxhall Victor.

Well done with the vehicle identification. Wish I still had my Hillman Minx, a great car.

Although cars are SO much better now, you have to admit, they were far more interesting up to the end of the 70s.

Yes they were. They were designed to look distinctive, but nowadays they aim to be aerodynamic and are difficult sometimes to tell apart.
