Can anyone date this photo? Reverse image search brings up results but none specify the year. Is there anything here that gives an earliest possible year or something

The sports car in the background is probably your best bet for that. I'm not /o/ enough to say what that is, but it's probably the youngest thing in the pic.

The oldest source I'm seeing for the "Only Player's please so much" cigarette ad is 1962.

The slogan "Beanz Meanz Heinz" was introduced in 1967 and they stopped using it in the 1990s, and looking at the cars and buses the photo isn't from the 80s or 90s, so I'd say late 60s or early 70s.

I /think/ the car in the background is a Volkswagen Karmann Ghia, sold in Europe from 1955 - 1974. Some other anon might be able to confirm. /o/ would likely know, but if it's what I think it is, that narrows your time frame a bit.
