I don't think Brazilian as they had subtle differences to the doors. But it is left-hand drive.
Not a Brazilian Transporter as there’s no radiator grill on the front, probably come from Europe

Stubborn git
I bow to others knowledge on these. I thought it may come down to the odd indicator placement up high.

Slow, guzzles fuel and ugly but they are an iconic vehicle

Charming but somewhat feckless
On my ride today, at the Mulbarton Farm Shop, saw and chatted with the owner of a pristine condition Triumph TR3A.
A proper sports car - !
The kind of car that let you pick daisies from the roundabout as you drove round it.

Touch it up and ride it
I know a tandem co pilot that used to do that 😁

Day out yesterday at the Atwell Wilson motor museum near Calne in Wiltshire. One of those small but really good museums I find rather appealing.

Pre war Alvis and its six cylinder engine
A brace of Daimler limos. The purple one apparently was recovered in scrap condition from a disused Bristol theatre then restored. Had been owned by Queen Mary no less. This one had the well regarded 4.5l v8 designed by Edward Turner. The 2.5l version was in thr Daimler dart sports car and the Daimler version of the Mk2 Jag. The didn't use the 4.5 version for that as it would have rather upstaged the 3.8XK engine in the Jag versio
Some enormous and hideous Yank cars
Some Jags: the Mk10 is enormous!
Austin coachbuilt limo with lovely art deco interior
Vauxhall - Cresta maybe ?
Austin Somerset, I rather liked this one with its giant A35 styling
Minis
Some motorcycles too
Two different Ariel square fours

So stale, any car in a museum is a waste they should be driven or they are pointless

Some of them at least are driven. They do a wedding car service. In any case, if it wasn't for the museum the majority of the vehicles would have been melted down by now
That said, since the Mary Rose is no longer seaworthy they might as well chop it up for firewood
