Re: Just a nice period picture
Can anyone identify this saloon car? Is it an Austin Somerset?

Re: Just a nice period picture
I reckon so too. They were built from 1952 - 1954 and were a very popular car. My first car was an A40 Somerset. There was also a larger A70 Hereford which had the same styling and a 2.2litre engine from the Austin 16.

Re: Just a nice period picture
The new Marina in the showroom is a Mk2 (Isn't it sad that I know that 
) Which I think was launched in 1976?

Re: Just a nice period picture
I used to work on the pumps at North Lane Garage in my youth. At the time they used to supply quite a few LHD export models. I remember a Triumph Spitfire and an MGB in that showroom both destined for Argentina. Bought by foreign students at Leeds University and used here initially before been taken back home. My Mother rented a lockup to the guy with the Spitfire.
Lovely art deco type building.

Re: Just a nice period picture
Great photos - is the middle one of Hampstead Garden Suburb? - looks a little familiar....
Cars were of the size to suit our roads.
