Yes indeed, a Cortina Mk 2. Sorry for the mistake.
The Cobra has protruding wings, both front and rear. I still think Franglais has it right with the GT 6.
I do think it is very similar to a GT6, but I still wouldn’t hang my hat on it.
I’ve owned 2 GT6s, a MkI and a MkIV but the photo just isn’t clear enough I think.
Seeing the chrome bonnet latches behind the front wheels would give me more confidence.
On the @les_sylphides AC suggestion, maybe the AC Ace rather than the Cobra? That has the same lines but not the swollen wheel arches.
Normally a drop top but hardtops can be fitted, especially if in 1970s London left parked on the street.
Reminds me of the old Jacques Tati film “ Traffic “.

Wheel arches was the right term for my previous post, and not wings, as we say in French! probably none of you understood… Sorry.

A question for anybody, how do you add something from an original post and include it with your new post.
I can’t seem to find the ‘reply with quote button’.

When you open the reply button there is a speech bubble on the left-hand side of the symbols, click that & it will include the original post.

This looks more like Wallasey docks, with the submarine behind it.

Back in the 80’s/ 90’s Arthur V. Crutchley transport and shipping had a warehouse near the lifting bridge on the Wallasey Dock Road. You can just about see the end of the building in this photo.
Falcongate Transport also had a depot on Bidston Dock Road
The old paddle steamer in the background ‘The Willow’, was rumoured as being converted into a night club and was moored there for quite a few years although I have no idea if it was ever completed.
The coloured funnels were where they held an exhibition about the Atlantic Conveys during the second world war.
Own up, who had a John Bull puncture repair outfit.
I think that the transport digs were across the road, above the cafe at Heap Bridge, Heywood, Lancs.
Its a German U Boat

Lawrence you are correct, the ERF / Nissan curtain sider is parked on the Dock Road in Wallasey, the submarine went a long time ago, not sure where it went, the paddle steamer never materialised as a night club and that too disappeared, the old flour mills next to were the submarine was located is a now trendy apartments.
You mention A.V Crutchley, I think they moved out to Ellesmere Port, another haulage company that was on the dock estate in the 70’s was Alpine Swaden they had a fair few motors, they would not not employ local ( Merseyside ) drivers ( Union related ) instead they recruited from Shropshire, Craven arms area.

Somewhere in that photo is the Co-op Pop Factory, where I started my driving career in 1963, Blowed if I can see it though. 
Sorry for the old post reference, I am slowly working my way through this thread. 
I thought the ABC was on the corner of Mount Street. The buses from Beeston used to sweep around the corner towards the bus station and we would swing off at a run not going all the way. The height of cool 
Is that heading out of town up the hill towards Canning Circus?
Note the slop wagon on the left, I remember similar
back in Oxford(early mornings 1960s) a pig farmer going round the hotels and restaurants doing the collections.

I will have a guess Oily and say somewhere in the Lake District.
Don’t forget that the ‘slop bins’ or the ‘pig swill bins’ were also around the back of the school dinner hall in the 1950’s.

In the 1960’s there were pig-bins around some residential streets in Southampton. An example of re-cycling of food waste from “back in the day”.
That was when Townhill Park was all a farm.
I remember the Pig Bin across the road from where I grew up, I thought it was a product of post-war recovery.
I also remember the wagon that did the collections looked as if it had never been cleaned.
