The "grey lump" is British

I want to say the red American supercar is a Mercury...not many were made by them, though.

Concur, looks like the rare Cyclone, ['70?] the hidden lights had me thinking it was a Pontiac Judge.

djinn's DHC looks like a Lea-Francis Westland 2½ LitreTourer (post 537)

[wilko]

Yes - even late BL models continued to have the illuminated badge.

Interesting, the door line looks wrong to me for the LF, reminds me more of a Daimler DB18 but in that case it would be a coach built model.

White one is the Rover TCZ by Zagato. I didn't know it was ever registered, it may be the only one. A real surprise. I've only seen pics from Zagato themselves. The three door clearly has the Rover style grill, though horizontal bars, but it's a new one on me.

Easy guess for the white coupe is Excalibur. I once met Brooks Steven's car stylist, a little man named Kelly who had an Italian special built for him, that he designed. He took credit for the Studebaker Hawk GT and credited Raymond Loewy a success with the new Avanti (first time he saw one).

Post 537 - Lagonda 2.5 DHC 1949

Yeap you have it

Pay attention here there is a huge trap

[chinthee]

Well, as a former owner of a 356 and several 911s, I'll take the bait. 1959 356a?

Not sure why this one is so tricky, but you'll tell us.

[mr_hippo]

Apal Speedster, a replica of the Porsche 356 model - built on a VW Beetle floorplan.

Now for one witha very tenous link to Thailand -

Hmmmm I already noticed you are an Apal specialist;correct.The Apal Speedster was known as a nearly perfect replica built from 81 till 88

Yours seems to be based on a Wolseley but I don't know this model

An other one for you guys and a second photo of the red one as clue

[mr_hippo]

Not Wolseley, think of Thailand!

[A_Traveller]

White 550sk {post 550} lookalike is a Tiffany. Now there's link to Thailand

Interestingly there's another link here since these were based on the Mercury Cougar

The red car reminds me of a Lincoln Zephyr, but the lines don't look right.

I don't know the white coupe that resembles an Excalibur. However, that resembled a Mercedes, and Mercedes was the name of the daughter of an early financier of Daimler-Benz. So I'll say it's a Mercedes 540K, but the hood ornament is wrong. Alfas were Guliettas and Gulias, with Romeo as their boyfriend. I don't know.

Looks like a Riley to me.

Not Riley

[A_Traveller]

Not Riley

Sorry yes it is CKD'd & built by Siam di Tella Automotores in Argentina. Local market names varied during the production run. Since this is a commercial vehicle I'm not sure, but the Farina based estate {5 doors} was called the Siam di Tella Traveller.

Regards

/edit PS The commercial pick-up {2 door} was called the Riley 1500 in Argentina. The only difference was the stylised S badges used.//
