That’s some serious polish going on there!

Thanks..... she's not bad for over 174,000 miles.... but the front foot or so does have quite a few chips....typical brittle ALFA rosso paint!

General rule of thumb is, if you smack your thumb once, give up!

Following on from my post here, I thought I'd share a few more scans from my father's collection of photo's.

I have no idea where these were taken, but judging by the cars it was in the early 1960's. Can anyone identify where it was?

And a street scene from the same era, but again I don't know where it was taken:

Finally, one that I can identify the location. This was taken from Devonshire Road in Bexleyheath, looking towards the Broadway. I suspect it was taken from the entrance to Martin's Garage where Dad worked at the time:

Thank you!

Third photo, the light-coloured car on the right with the roof rack, sandwiched between the Wolseley 15/50 and the FB Victor has me stumped.

VW1500 methinks - the headlamp bezels do it for me!

BTW, the Victor's sidelights indicate post-1964 facelift.

I think you may well be right. That's certainly a (very) rare bird!

 

[ALFAitalia]

Maybe....or at least the estate version...but the indicators and arches don't quite look correct.....and its possibly four door????

Good spot re: the sidelights on the Victor. According to the Wiki page, the revised frontal treatment was introduced at the same time as the larger engine in September 1963 (so the 1964 model year). Pity we can't see the number plate as it must have been one of the first with an "A" or "B" suffix.
