Going back to 03-10-16 posting of Belgian meet
1] lovely Super Imp. And the dealer sticker is from Marmite-town in jfs-county.
2] black Sunbeam hatch might be a Sunbeam-Lotus which has lost some badging and the silver panel side tapes. Has early grille and correct wheels. Or someone's building a lookalike.
3] Nice Luxembourg-plate Lotus Cortina - no boot badges suggests it might be alloy panels, which were dropped in mid-1965.
4] Red Sierra is Cosworth-lookalike based on early XR4 - proper ones did not have the extra pillar in rear side windows
And in latest instalment
5] that magazine bus RWC 607. Plate now on a 2003 BMW Z4 3.0i, but it did belong to a 1963 Bristol Lodekka for Eastern National
"RWC607 started life in 1963 as coach 1640, and was renumbered 2604 in 1965. In 1973 it was downgraded to bus duties (as 2936), losing the coach seats and luggage racks, and serving in this guise until September 1980, when it was sold to Eastern National Preservation Group member Ted Miles. Kept at Castle Point Transport Museum for many years, partially restored, it was finally restored to "as new" condition by now defunct Eastern National Engineering in New Writtle Street Chelmsford in 1990. Sadly, this rare and totally unique vehicle passed from preservation to dealer Carl Ireland in 1996, and then on to well known German dealer "Der Blickfang". It is believed to be still in Germany." - http://www.sct61.org.uk/es2604
