Shell Garage Somewhere 1970's
Sadly I haven't a clue where this was so if anyone knows please do tell me! Aside from the Shell logo and the front edge of the forecourt showing there is a wonderful row of period cars on show. At the front a Mark 1 Vauxhall Cavalier based entirely on the Opel Ascona (actually it might even be an Opel Ascona looking at the badge on the front) of that era and marketed in South Africa as a Chevrolet Chevair - a great looking car! The next one looks sort of like a Renault 5 (boxy headlights are right but something doesn't look quite right) so maybe it isn't, then a Mark 4 Ford Cortina, then a Simca/Talbot a Mark 1 Ford Fiesta, another Ford Cortina and after that I am getting a bit stuck! The brown car looks maybe Austin or Hillman, the silver car looks to be an early model VW Golf and finally the yellow car looks like a Mark 1 Ford Escort. On the other side in the forecourt area I think Rover P6 filling up and the furthest car looks like a Peugeot - and the passing red van is I think an Escort - I'll await the corrections :o)
