I worked briefly in a large telephone exch late 1960s when NZ welcomed very large numbers of UK immigrants. (Those many who forever drew comparisons with "home" gave rise to the expression "whingeing Poms") The hard case techs had "Pom" days where they wore knotted hankies and rolled their trousers half way up their legs. (It always intrigued me how instantly young English chaps fitted in. By the second day and morning tea only the accent distinguished them. Different now)
The clothing in photo hard to date. The car would not have been used for general running so could have been old at the time. Are the prices pre or post war?
i suppose the latest weatherboard is plastic although it is a pattern common here for near all houses 1890s to WW1
If the driver sat on the lids he would be in big trouble today, especially here, where he would earn a rahui (native ban, now applied to all).
