The same location in 2016 - East Parade, Hastings - the built environment is more or less unchanged only the street furniture and signage now dominate the scene.

Location: Almost but not quite, the far North East of England

Perhaps it has run out of fuel? I can't believe weather conditions would cause the car to be stranded on what seems to be pretty level ground.

As you say, Jeff, this looks like an altered image. A scalpel and some dodging perhaps? Do you think that the Seven and its crew plus some foreground have been superimposed on the Hastings photo?

Regards,

That amount of snow wouldn't stop a box saloon particularly as it is level. The two helpers on the nearside aren't doing much pushing in fact one is leaning on the car (exhausted?) and the lady seems to be shouting encouragement. My guess is it's run out of fuel or the battery is flat.
If you do loose traction, start the motor, engage the clutch in bottom gear and with a small amount of hand throttle get out and push, holding onto the car ready to jump back in, do not let go of the car.
Yes it is possible to get a Seven stuck in snow, again 1962 and my mate was going to the pub and the farmer had only cleared the road as far as his entrance. My mate was suddenly confronted with a 3' wall of snow, remember poor lights & poor brakes. His Seven buried itself, the farmer lent him a shovel and he soon dug it out undamaged and made a detour to the pub.
