On the left, the white car, I guess it is a Saab 96 ?

Yes, a 1967 or earlier.

this scene was shot outside Italy: too many foreign cars for the era...: Saab 96, Glas 1700, BMC Mini,

The Mini even looks to have British plates :) I can also see a Hillman Super Minx or similar, and a Ford Consul Cortina.

... and what's the tall pale saloon with the plain boot beside the Mini - looks like an oversized Aronde? Super Minx could be interesting for an Italian location as possibly Touring-built, but has S3/4 cabin so too late for Italian assembly. The Glas looks the most interesting car - never realised its baby Quattroporte resemblance before. So what is the story of this photo - where could it be, and why black and white?

According to Wikipedia:
Quote The office block that doubled as the Turin traffic control centre was the Hanworth, Middlesex head office of the television rental chain DER.

The rare Glas 1700 TS is really worth to list :king:

To realize Gag's last comment, it's a continental LHD-car.

I agree with Ingo, the Glas is too rare not to be listed...
