ATP 237V was and still is a local car to Portsmouth. Built by a couple that managed a pub near Winchester.
Ronnie is the guys name not sure of his wife's.

The Rays Rods Plymouth coupe was built by the late Al Knellor and was featured in Rod and Custom
. It was built from the remains of the Surrey Street Rodders project car as displayed at the famous USG show.
The Blue 1947 Morris E van in background belonged to Ken Brittain, it was powered by a pinto and had a full feature in the
October 1981 edition of Rod and Custom. Ken still owns the van in fact to this day and races it in the Rover V8 challenge.

Not sure about car in foreground the homebuilt C cab next to it though was a Southern Roadster's Rod.
Guy built in in his front room and then dismantled it and took it outside to rebuild piece by piece!
