Two from the Kings Road, Chelsea, second one must be a Radford, looks like it's in the same two tone gold over brown colour scheme as 'AA 1000', the 'Adam Adamant Lives' car....

That could be Shell Grey over Steel Blue, both Rolls colours from the era.

John Cooper at Gaydon in 1998 during the development of the R50 MINI by Rover.
(The R50 MINI pictured with JC is an early Rover prototype - R50 'anoraks' will notice the differences to the 2001 final production cars, eg. side repeaters/vents, mirrors, door handles, fuel cap, wheels, rear side glass shading, Cooper badges and extra lights below the front quarter bumpers.....)

UK Doors on an Innocenti?

Royal Australian Air Force Moke I think, based on the 'kangaroo' roundels just visible on the wings of the Dassault Mirage jet.

Guessing around 1967 ?

Just before the Falklands 'unpleasantness' during a pre-unpleasantness pep talk, we were told about the Argentinian air force being equipped with obsolete Mirages and air to air/ground missile systems etc etc. I thought....., as you do....., and said to my pal Capt Alister XXXX sat next to me. Mirages eh'. If the Australians, the French and the Israeli air forces - to name but three - have got them, we'd better look out. My prophesy was right!
BRILLIANT aircraft

There's a fair chance that all of the vehicles in that picture were made in Australia. Its amazing now to think that we used to manufacture jet fighters here. We don't even make cars now.

Yes those doors are correct on this type,
Innocenti Mini Cooper Mk3.
Not only the UK had those MK3 doors ?


Kees.

Much more Innocents but now the Innocenti Mini 1001 Export, could also be the Inno Mini Matic Export. On the train from the factory to who knows, Germany, Belgium the Netherlands ?
There is also an white/black Innocenti Mini Cooper 1300 Export waiting for it's journey.

Kees.

Just a nice period picture

The first few hundred Innocenti Cooper Mk3 cars used a British built shell as Innocenti hadn't finished the tooling they are referred to as Pre deflorie!

My Inno Mini Minor Mk3 has opening vent windows in the doors.
