Bentley S I, II or III versus Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud in main pic as we can't decide, it is quite clever to switsch to ground convoyer and mike962 will tell  JCB my guess -- Last edit: 2016-11-09 02:35:23 |

I suppose I should have excluded the Silver Cloud I.... |

If we hadn't already known it was a Royce, the small square badge on the back bumper would settle that. A Bentley would have the wings, which, even at that distance, are quite different. The main picture is otherwise full of grey porridge, except for the JCB and a Commer motor caravan, the curved rear quarter windows of which may help identification. A couple of low rent cars in the picture, the maroon Escort and the white Viva E with its black window frames. -- Last edit: 2016-11-09 09:57:00 |

Escort Popular Mk III? |

Two ADO18, a Vauxhall Viva, an Astra MkI Estate (what's behind it, the glimpse of the back looks somehow Toledo-ish), Volvo 144, but I think, the most interesting vehicle here is the Camper on the right on top of the hill. |

Escort is the most visible one if you're not going for the obvious - the Bentley / Rolls looks ridiculously tiny compared to the Escort for some reason. -- Last edit: 2016-11-09 13:59:01 |

JCB re-introduced this colour scheme in 2016 as a 'tribute', Link to "www.heavyequipmentguide.ca" It's surprising how few working pictures there are of the JCB 3C and 3CX even though they were on every street corner from 1960's until recently when mini excavators took over street works. So common no one took photos I guess. -- Last edit: 2016-11-10 07:16:36 |

Question JCB, when did JCBs come to the US/Canada? |
|

Late 50s at a guess , I will have a look at my books . Joseph Cyril ( Bamford) was always keen on export right from the start . -- Last edit: 2016-11-10 15:00:32 |
