| BMC cars of this model range are amongst my favourites. MG Magnettes are the ones I really like, but this is a 1954 Wolseley 4/44. |
 |
| A Bristol 401 of 1955. |
 |
| A well prepared 1956 Austin A30 van. |
 |
| Big and bold and lots of chrome for this 1956 Chrysler Imperial. You can see where the grille design for the current 300c originated. |
 |
| the same Imperial; just as big and bold from the rear. |
 |
| The wheels may not be standard, but with the whitewalls, the chrome and that bright red paint this 1958 Chevrolet Apache looked just right. |
 |
| This Studebaker Champion Starlight Coupe is from 1950. |
 |
| Another coupe, but this time from Europe. A 1960 Borgward Isabella. |
 |
| 1961 Alvis sedan. |
 |
| FB model Vauxhall Victors were common in New Zealand in their day, but.... |
 |
| ....not with bucket seats and floor-change. As far as I am aware NZ versions all had bench front seats and 3 speed column gear-ghange. |
 |
| I am very partial to Rootes Group products of this period and this would probably be my favourite. A 1966 Humber Sceptre MkII. I particularly like the deep, double curvature windscreen. A bit like a Super Minx with a bit of extra styling. The panel layout with all its guages was also appealing. |
