Whatsthisthen?

[myglaren]

That was it. Surprised me and I worked in Birtley for years and passed that church every evening - also the used tyre place that I sometimes use for repairs backs on to the Belgian Cemetery.

There's a BBC article and program about it.

Bob and I had a great day out yesterday which is why I saved you all the trouble of reading my drivel for one day at least!
However the day generated a "Wheresthisthen" question in three parts. Part one earns 100 points, if no luck in a few hours the prize will be reduced to 30 points on the production of my second picture. If that doesn't produce a result then a mere point will be gained by the poster of the first correct answer after my third picture is displayed!!

Well you might have gone to this.

Well reasoned guess there Neil. Sadly it's wrong but I think the logic deserves a bonus 5 points!!

[mickthemaverick]

I'm off for a Sunday roast in a minute so time to put up picture number 2. Depending on viewing habits I'm expecting this to net a fairly easy 30 points for the answer!!

30 points to Neil. Well done, we had a really great day and Henry's main message was "After seeing what has happened with Covid it is now clearly our responsibility to grow old disgracefully!!!" And I have to say it sounds like a grand idea to me!!!!

They do have one thing in common, I wouldn't have recognised the Saab either!

Looks like cross between a Renault and something Japanese. Floride/early Civic hybrid.
Or a Fiaty thing, bit like my boss' wife's early 850

I think I've got it Mick, somewhere I think one of them came up for auction and got a brief mention in passing on the FCF but I may be mistaken and I havent yet discovered the full SP on it

Spoiler: show

Details on the VW can be found here.
