Yep, it's a Monteverdi High Speed 375L ca. '68-'77. Coachwork was by Fissore and power via Chrysler V8 (426 or 440), making the Monteverdis Italian-Swiss/American hybrids.
 
The Monteverdi High Speed 375 also came in four-door (375/4) and convertible (375S) form.

Interesting point about the Opel GT in the UK. There's no way for us Yanks to know where it was taken other than the slight preponderance of British makes unless we noticed the K-G is RHD.
 
I forgot about the Fiat 850, never very popular here. The Opel GT was common here in the '70s, it was sometimes called the "poor man's 'Vette". The Ford Transit is apparently ubiquitous on your side but most of us have never seen one.
 
link to Wikipedia entry: "Ford Transit".

Almost. It's a JDM Honda Ascot Innova, an upscale version of the '90-94 Accord with styling and engines borrowed from the '92 Prelude. The mid-90s Euro Accord was a bit wider (since it didn't have to fit into Japanese tax brackets) and had door frames around the windows.

They are actually driving on our side of the road, although that is such a wide street that it is hard to tell... I would say the location is in north London, probably somewhere like Camden or Notting Hill...
Thanks for the link on the Transit - it is really the generic name now for a panel van one size larger than the car based ones... Even if somepne has a Bedford, a VW or a Mercedes-Benz van, if it is about that size everyone refers to it as a 'Transit'

Citroen CX, may be the Prestige model, not so sure about the Pallas. I would say this particular car was pictured in the Last Century early Eighties.
CX was made between 1974-1990; in 1975 was the Car Of The Year in Europe. She was the sucessor of the DS model and the antecessor of the XM. Robert Opron was the designer.

Jose

Yep, it's a 1988 Citroen CXA Prestige, never officially imported here although
this one resides in Oregon.

There was a grey market company that privately imported those, I think the majority were sent over in 1987. Some XMs were also imported after that.
