Maybe as a good alternative.. just use a SwanVesta that will be a lot more reliable & sod the Road Safety aspect.

Re: Just a nice period picture
It is a Cortina but I’m more interested in the truck . Commer 2 stroke? once you’ve heard one at full chat never forgotten .
8662 FN Austin Mini

Re: Just a nice period picture
Looks like it could be a Commer TS3.
It's a pre-airflow 'Tina
Another 5 points (not pints) on offer for the dark car to the right of shot, and it's not a Hillman Minx.

Re: Just a nice period picture
Like JohnA I spotted the Italian design. The Italians were ahead of us in design but not rustproofing unfortunately so nobody younger will ever have seen one - although our homegrown Morris 1100 was hardly any better was it If the prize was pints I'd share them with him 
I'm just enjoying a cool isolation beer right now as it happens so cheers everybody and good health 
. Let us hope we can all meet up at some future time.
