The grass is Castle Howard, not sure about the car... I don't think it's a Marcos as @Downhill Dino suggests.

EDIT: I notice the lights are from a Mondeo Mk I, but it's not a Noble M12 (the most famous car to use those lights). Kit car from a Ford bin?

Not a Marcos as it would say so along the spoiler, and I don't recognise the badge.

Here's the Marcos for comparison.

I know the Shelsley question was three years ago, but it was only a few posts ago. I just couldn't help myself with this:

Elan or Elite.

Edit: Looks to be a Series 1 Elite. 1958-63, if I'm not mistaken.

1928 Model A Ford?
No. Split windshield. Fords had one-piece windshields well before that, and if they were split, it was horizontal for ventilation. Those horizontally split windhields were also exceptionally tall.

Can't make out enough details. Even the pitch of the grill shell can't be made out and that could be useful.

I think it's probably something European, or at least with European coachwork, from maybe '29 to '34.
 
I need help again,with this Oldtimer.

Can I assume that was photographed in Belgium? If so, then it's far more likely to be a European car than American (although I am aware that Fords were built in Europe during this time.) There are flowers draped over the car, so we can assume it's a car-for-hire for weddings and other occasions. You might investigate who has a service like that in the area and see what their inventory is.

1929 Citroen C4?

Nope, still lacking the split windshield. Also quite different in other areas.

One of those would make a pretty ****ing sweet little hot rod, though. Maybe with the V6 from an SM.

Well, I got part of that right.

It appears to be a 1931 Chrysler Imperial CG Eight.

The model ran from 1931 to 1933, and the latter two years were chunkier along the beltline.
