"What's the one on the left with the upright grille?" 1952 to 1955 Austin A40 Somerset. 0 - 60 in 10 minutes and three inches of play in the steering - when new! |

The fastback car in the right background... could that be a Jowett Javelin ? Edit: Ah, sorry, it was already listed: /vehicle.php?id=222843 -- Last edit: 2009-04-05 23:33:47 |

I thought someone else would spot it, so added it already.! |

The 55 Buick is a small model, either a Century or a Special. |

It looks like a Daimler Dart parked on the street perpendicular at the end....it can be seen directly over the Zephyr's roof. |

It’s a Daimler SP250. Apparently some US firm objected to the use of “Dart” because they already had a car of that name, or is this apocryphal? -- Last edit: 2022-03-17 08:53:42 |

^ Not wanting to Dodge the question... The Illustrated Directory of Sports Cars. MBI Publishing. p. 129. ISBN 0-7603-1418-7. The new car, which Daimler wanted to call the 'Dart' until Dodge complained that it held the trade mark rights to that name, had a chassis and suspension layout which was unashamedly and admittedly copied from that of the Triumph TR3A (both cars were built in Coventry, England), as was the gearbox. With little time to come up with a new name, Daimler used the project number, SP250, as the model number. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daimler_SP250 |
