Filmed in 1955 the cars were probably new at the time - First Ford commercial on UK television.

So the car far left (you can only see the rear lights) is that a Ford Anglia/Prefect? And the tractor a Fordson?

Anglia or Prefect and a Fordson is probable but not really enough visible to identify further.

In the upward panning shot that finishes with this view the interior of a convertible is shown. The first assumption would be that it was a Zephyr or Consul but I don't recognise the details of the fascia and steering wheel.

I think its a new unregistered convertible (a label is stuck on the windscreen) but it looks older than Zephyr or Consul with a handle at the base of the windscreen?

Confirmed - the interior shot is a Consul/Zephyr Convertible MkI.
