You probably know some of the people...guess the car?

Saw this cute photo today (as a part of her passing). So many years ago!

English Ford?

Austin 7 (with John & Cynthia, Pete Best and... )?

Beat me to it, I agree with Mark.

Austin 7 (with John & Cynthia, Pete Best and... )?

Yep! (although I could not find any photos of a 7 with doors exactly like that.......with 4 suicide doors), I'm pretty sure that's what it is.

I think the other guy in the photo is one of the Quarrymen.

If the original Quarrymen, then the other two were probably either Eric Griffiths, Pete Shotton, Bill Smith, Ivan Vaughan, Nigal Walley, or Stuart Suttcliff - and I'm now guessing one as Suttcliff (as McCartney didn't appear until 1957 and Harrison in 1958 based on the Beatles history book I read some time back).

That looks like a Ford 'Y' Model to me and possibly a Wolseley 4/44 behind it. Never heard of this Lennon feller though!

Danny:

Looks like you are correct! The four suicide doors and bonnet louvers make it appear to be a Ford Y. Good spotting!

Top Marx PC.

I think the Y Model all but disappeared from British roads in the 1960's due to a combination of the introduction of the MOT test and Stock-Car racing.

The big giveaway is that no Austin Sevens had four doors. The last of them had a 6'9" wheelbase, no room for 4!

Yeah, I wondered about that. Never seen one with 4.
