reminds me ; one french site recently had something which machine-translated as
' Australians, they drink just about anything and everything, except French submarines ...'
after someone had noted the cinzano sign in :
suppose we may be even less welcome than usual, outside the anglosphere ...
I note the registered trademark sign after aussiefrogs. Would that mean if I tried to make a reddit subreddit with the name aussiefrogs I would be in violation of the trademark?
Yes, and the HD was replaced by the HR in '66.
My dad bought a new HD Special Wagon in '65. The tailgate rusted completely through in less than one year!
I doubt any HD taxis were still on the road after.... say '68.
What year model is the Renault?

Is that a HK Holden (68) tucked in alongside the bus behind the VW notchback?
It looks like it......
Looks like a Falcon to me and don't forget the mini and Valiant
Yeah saw the Valiant, it's an AP5/6, Mini and Type 3 who knows what year? I was actually looking for what seemed to be the newest car in the photo.
I'm still thinking HK, it has the prominent horizontal center bar in the grill, the shadows on the bumper indicate it is pointed in the middle and swells out as it wraps around the corners.
It also looks like the parking lights are in the stone tray.
I could be wrong as I am only looking at it on my phone so can't blow it up too much.
I've owned a HK or two in my time and that was my first impression.

Is that a Corolla hiding behind (The other side of) the taxi ?
I'm leaning towards a HK and the taxi is a HR, the headlight surrounds give it away. A special prize for identifying the car behind the Valiant.......
Oh yeah..... the HD had the corners of the bonnet cut away.
That what I wondered might be a Corolla, but is it another Renault?
I was thinking something Pommy ?Mk2 Cortina.
You Aussie car nuts don't deserve a fine French car forum like Aussiefrogs!

Hilman Imp?
Yes it had the pizza cutter peaks on the front guards and the parkers in the stone tray.
The peaks were way pointier in the original US design but I remember reading someone at Holden managed to "trim" them back a bit prior to production.
I saw a photo of the US clay model with the longer points, I quite liked it.
You can't fully appreciate a filet mignon unless you've also tried a meat pie that's sat in the warmer for a few days too many.
