Error101lol ◊ 2025-12-30 23:20	There is a 1967 Reliant Regal Supervan III in front (the way it's facing) of the 1500, and a Triumph Herald (?) behind the van -- Last edit: 2025-12-30 23:28:50
dsl ◊ 2025-12-31 00:34	^ Pale blue on left not a Reliant, but a Herald estate - however it's not a bad guess. Beyond the police van, first one unclear but my guess is Mk1 Escort Estate, then another Escort.
Error101lol ◊ 2025-12-31 09:56	^ There is text on the first 'Escort' where there shouldn't be, so it is not an Escort Also, the pale blue one has 3 wheels from underneath the car, where there seems to be a spot in the middle more tyre-coloured than its shadow, so likely a Regal 3/25. -- Last edit: 2025-12-31 10:05:28
daimlere20 ◊ 2026-01-01 12:21	Pale blue on right definitely not a Reliant 3/25. Rear lamps too deep, full width rear window, and chrome rear bumper. -- Last edit: 2026-01-01 12:41:18

The enormous "badge" is no such thing: it is a a swage line.
