I kept a copy of the Nottingham Evening Post on the day of the moon landings in July 1969. It's also interesting to see what you could pick up second-hand in those days.

I guess the "Skoda Estate Van" is the rarest out of that lot KevC, presumably Octavia-based?

Here's a 1956 ad for Regent petrol:

Hi
I put petrol in that Aston.
I worked at agarge in Ashtead near Epsom and one of our regulars was Maurice "Smith?" the editor of Motor, or possibly Autocar, and he used to come in with what ever he had for road tests, being editor he always seemed to pick the exotics, he also came in with the XKSS.

Hi
That has something of the look of the Lister 1 ton.
Just a bit lighter in construction.
