It's a Ford Prefect/Anglia 100E Exactly which is hard to tell without front view. Radiator grilles and badges are different

Prefect, for sure, 1954-7. Look at the side windows: on the Anglia the driver's door window is clearly longer than the other, but these are about the same.

What is the car in front of the 100E?

Looks like a Metropolitan with no spare wheel, but the rear lights are wrong, so it's probably a Taunus.

For me it COULD BE a Vauxhall Victor F.

It's not a Victor, they had the number plate mounted on the boot lid not the rear bumper. Mine was dark blue and was 3908 E.

I am thinking about an Opel Olympia-Rekord. Strange to meet one in UK.

Definitely no Opel. A mid-50ies Ford 15 M would be closer with this design, but it isn't one either.

80% Confirmed.

Roof line rear glass in three sections and C pillar shape.
Rear bumper and boot trim.
Wheel arches.

Only I cannot find the enlarged rear light clusters seen here.

That bothered me a bit, hence the query. Maybe necessary to conform with British regulations, or added reversing lights?
