Great photo, love the early FB Victor they must have been quite a popular car back in the day as they do appear quite often in various 60s pictures. Dave…Great selection of old British cars in this shot taken on Alexandra Road Hulme Manchester in 1965 including, you’ve guessed it, a FB Victor

The lorry most probably delivering fruit and veg looks like a prototype curtain sidder! The Bedford van with sliding doors shows how safety conscious vehicle designers were in them days. I think the best van for delivery drivers were the threepenny bit cab BMC FG series. We used to go shopping on Alec Road early 1950s and on a Saturday the pavements were full with goods for sale. Photo attached is 1960 but this snap could have been taken mid week and less traffic.
Check Google streets and St Marys Church in the foreground is the only original building left and no shops in sight.
