Like Malcolm I go for a Bristol for the bottom left, the other two look like they may be Allard's.

Yes well done Malcolm and Richard, the under the wing spare wheel is a Bristol, according to the photo description a 1967 Bristol 410.

They used this feature on models from the 50's up to the early 2000's

This Bristol Blenheim 3g was one of the last

Spot-on Malcolm. There was one other unusual location spare wheel puzzle, but looking back over the thread it would have been
