Bit of fun!

What are the 2 cars left and behind the stag? Both have been recently dipped in an acid bath to strip them to bare steel.

The one on the trailer is my MGA, the car in the frame is a mk 1 Cortina and the car on the far left is a brand new Mini.

The Cortina & the Mini had been through the first dip that removes all the paint, underseal and sealents, and were due to go in the acid dip to remove any rust.
