Looks like a pair of Rover P4s closest to the camera with a Mk3/Mk4 Mini in blue behind and a c1960 Hillman Minx in gray at the rear(unless it is also a Rover P4 although the quarterlite window is more pointed in the photo!).If they have been sitting in that field for a few years the floorpans have probably rotted through

you're certainly better than me when it comes to 50's
One mini mk3 and the rest is rover 75's p4
What is amazing with this find is that the cars havent been touched or vandalized since beeing put there. Certainly too far gone for a resto - but a lovely find :)
this is the inside of the mini
