Could that be a Porsche 356?
Next is an Austin of England A40 Dorset.
Then a Morris 1000 with the bonnet/hood up
With a Austin Healey beyond that.
The next one looks to be an MG TD or TC.

All about 1950'ish

A good, if motley, selection of vehicles being worked on.

How sad am I?

In an effort to be sadder, a small correction; the Austin A40 is a
Devon; the Dorset was the 2-door version. I'm trying to work out what
the furthest car is, with the bonnet up; I think it may be a Jaguar XK.
The presence of an Austin Healey means that the picture must have been
taken no earlier than 1953.

An impressive effort by you both. Hope this helps.
