1921 built Petter M [water-cooled generator set]
The switchgear on the right made me smile as it could be seen as an example of pareidolia.

Austin K2, built 1948.
Reg No. XSK 630
Fitted with a Jennings Horse Box [for the Somerset Fox Hounds] from new.

"The Millionth Austin" - an Austin Sixteen BS1 - came off the production line on 25th June 1946.
[Although, sadly, some recent investigations have suggested it may not be this exact vehicle].
.
As a celebration, all the employees at Longbridge signed the car. The last signature was Leonard Lord, the Managing Director, which can be seen on top of the bonnet.
{Cars 999,999 and 1,000,001 were raffled to the Austin workforce and the signed car was preserved for publicity display.

I presume that the car would have been finished in a matt white finish and the present colour is the result of the protective varnish turning yellow - a feature of tung oil and similar varnishes.

This "signing your work" is actually more common that might be expected, for example, railway carriage NER70, built in September & October 1870 had several sets of signatures, all hidden within the structure ... www.ipernity.com/doc/312383/20988123/in/album/404587 ...
Stanegate Restorations have continued this tradition, images of some examples can be found in the "Company Facilities" album ... www.ipernity.com/doc/312383/28857415/in/album/402863

A couple of Austin [toy] pedal cars.
Sadly, their infocards are not in focus.
I think that a) the white one is ...
and b) the lower, red/brown one is a ... Austin Eight.

Austin K9 fitted out as a radio truck - seems to be being used as the PA system for a rally.
Has both civilian and military regmarks, respectively ... YSJ 339 and 74 BG 68
The K9 was a modernised 4x4 military variant of the Austin K2 developed post WW2, the Loadstar was the civilian version.

Posed in front of the main museum building - and it's not an optical illusion, the wall really is curved.
