^ didn't spot a Rootes-jewel, but
this is Morris Oxford S2 with RHD and Brit plate. And there's
a Ford Pop or its German equivalent?

There was no German derivate, so it's indeed a British made Popular.
Quite rare with German registration (pre-1956 Amerikanisch Bayern 51 = Munich town), as it was never sold here.

80s-90s UK scrapyard pics -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDc7NTtQY5I . Mostly unremarkable Brit porridge, but a few sad sights - rarest probably an Argenta (they were unicorns over here), also a Coventry factory plate Tagora, Jag XJ-C, a distant Imp and an unhealthy number of Alpines/Solaras including several special editions - no wonder there's hardly any left today.

The videos of "Fusion Kidd" are interesting.

This person makes a bunch of videos about the cars and trucks of various TV shows, many of which are sitcoms of the 1960's. Most of the info is based on the data from IMCDb, and it includes AI generated narratives from the stars of each show. So, despite the fact that Elizabeth Hartman and Dick York are both dead, you have voices that sound a lot like them describing the scenes and each related vehicles. Sally Field from "Gidget," and Marlo Thomas from "That Girl" both sound as young as they did when they were on their respected shows. I haven't seen all the videos, but I'm expecting them to be created the same way.

At 2:40 a Polonez, at 3:10 a Renault 6 -also fully extinct- and at 3:21 a Datsun 240 Z.

I doubt it was a malfunction at the factory, they say it's a 1987 (it's indeed the 1986+ facelift) but the 242 was discontinued in 1984 so they wouldn't have a two-door side just laying around...
I have seen a three-door Amazon as well. This one is said to have been comissioned by the buyer from a four-door. They don't know if it was made by Volvo or by a coach builder. It is said that it was used as a school taxi and they didn't want the kids to run out in the street, hence the two doors on the right and one on the left.

Yes, at said in the video this was a doubtful explanation

What back then was traffic collapse, would be a paradise today.

Yes, it's a K 70 at 2:03
And a terrible thing at 3:02 - I was totally sick afterwards.

cool... i'd be too nervous to even try the 1889 one .. i mean , i wouldn't want to be the one who breaks something on it ...
Not helpful at all in emergency situations but ingenious in about all the other ones..
