Land Rover, Daimler Dart and Austin.

They are indeed. I wonder if the owner of that Dart was a local. The reg no. is 212 FUB, and according to the DVLA it has an export marker, which probably means it is now overseas. They fetch a fortune now (something like 40 grand I think) which is just ridiculous in my opinion, and they're not exactly pretty looking either. Shame they don't hold this rally anymore.

KLF396, Austin 16. 1948, a popular car in there day, lot were used as taxis
only problem was stopping as they had rod breaks ( no hydraulics)
apart from the hydraulic jacking system, you could lift the whole car of the ground, a jack at each corner..
