1971 Humber Sceptre PXJ745J c.1980/81

            DVLA helps us confirm the date of this photo, as it apparently came off the road at the end of June 1981. It's suffering the usual problem with number plate relocation that these, Avengers, Marinas and others used to suffer (complicated here by the position of the fuel filler).

At first I thought it had two tax discs, then I realised that one was what looks like permit for GEC (possibly GEC Traction Ltd?).

The dealer sticker appears to read Daken Motor Company - can't immediately find out anything on them.

The Super Minx in the next shot along can be seen in the background. The local group of the HB Viva club also appear to be gathering, along with various examples of Triumph, Renault, Fiat and the inevitable Cortina (in this case an example of the ubiquitous 1.6L which only lasted to 1985).
