Because of the mirrors (round,small and black) and the rectangular head lamps, I'd say it's at least a 1979 (only) 244/245 GL.
The writings in the grill MIGHT suggests it's a 244/245 GLE, which is the only model (of this year and type) I know of that had lettering in the grill http://schmidt-gemert.nl/_files/foto/81/thb3_244GLE80-1.jpg .

I'm sorry that the link shows a 1980 model, but the 1979 is the same apart from the mirrors (when looking at the front)...

Is that an Allegro on the left, behind the Fiesta?

Looking down Gardner St from Partickhill to Partick, west Glasgow. The road at the bottom is Dumbarton Rd. I live 5 blocks to the left of this position on a corner with Byres Rd, though moved here 8 years too late for the film date. Slightly further down the hill in another film - /vehicle_539436-MINI-Cooper-R56-2007.html .

As for the Volvo, as far as I know (which is very little on Volvo detail), in UK only GLE (Oct 78+) and GLT (Mar 80+) had grille lettering. I think I can see headlamp wash/wipe but not tints.

Looks like really a nice place, isn't it?

It's much less blurred now. On a clear day, you can see America.

Not Russia? Someone had said, you can see Russia from the home location :think:

P.S. Is it an Allegro?

Yes - a chocolate brown early Allegro, low-mid spec.

My memory sometimes betrayes me, as the GLT as well as the GLE had a badge in the grill Link to "rejsa.nu" .
However, GLT was introduced in 1980 (as dsl said earlier...) which means the car above MIGHT be a GLE. Might, because there can be a number of other badges that can be showed on the grill, e.g. AA, RAC, RSAC...
