Amazing historical photos with commentary...
 
Just wanted to share this.

I've been reading for several hours and haven't come up for air yet. Fascinating...

Nope. More like late 60s. Possibly as late as early 70s. Somebody that knows their British cars can probably narrow it down more.

That's probably one of the coolest threads i've ever seen. I hope he keeps adding more stuff.

There's an MG of some kind center right, I think it's a Midget/Sprite (maybe an MGB) which began production in 1961. I don't know the details on sight but it looks like a pre big-bumper but that doesn't help the year determination. The only other car I recognize is the Beetle.

Note: looks like wire wheels in the old picture, definitely an option at the time, this picture however shows the rear end better than anything else I found searching for five minutes.

Ya I had the same issues trying to identify anything other the bus (could be almost any rear up to about 75 when they changed a bunch) and the MGB (that is what I thought it was) which from the pics I looked at seemed to be a mid 60s model but there wasn't a lot to go on.
