This shouldn't be difficult, so grab yourself a point!

In fact this car has appeared before in a group puzzle, so no points for just identifying it - you will have to work a little harder than that. ;)

For a point you need to identify the car (make and year), the two gentlemen sitting in it, and the circumstances in which they find themselves together.

Sorry, but there are no points for partial answers.

Nothing from the Rookies, so an easy Expert point, perhaps?

I suppose identifying the uniform will lead to the car's place of origin?

Would a higher resolution scan of the car's occupants help at all?

Yes it is!

So who can put the final piece in the jigsaw?

I won't lock it, as it has been a communal effort so far!
