Impressive collection there. Thanks, Oliver.

The first ??? is a Ford Cortina Mk I, I would think, probably 1960s? We Essex boys of a certain generation grew up with the Mk I Cortina. I recall the rather off-colour joke:

"How many Essex girls does it take to screw in a light bulb?"

"They don't screw in light bulbs; they screw in the back of Ford Cortinas!"
