In that first photo the car on the left is probably a c.1950 A135 DS3, the car in these pictures is at least a DS5 (1953-56). -- Last edit: 2017-02-09 01:03:33

But I'm not convinced the black one is a Mk3 [DS5] - it has short door handles, not long ones like /vehicle_78344-Austin-A135-Princess-DS5-1953.html and the very early round outline rear side windows which I take as being Mk1 [DS2] only. Or I'm mis-reading clues??
