I guess it's for the 'Traction' in the background. Is that scene shot in Britain or in France? If, Britain,this might be a Slough production Citroën Light Fifteen 1946+ |

Looks to be the UK. Vehicles are mostly parked on the left side of the street and there appears to be a light-coloured half-cab bus (right hand drive) in the background, centre-right. |

I think it's Britain: the even-more-background cars seem to be a prewar Morris and a P2 Rover, and the format of the TA's registration, though illegible, appears to be British. |

The chromed grille indicates Slough production, there were also some pre-war 12s built in Slough, my father had one from 1953 to 1955. Chrome grille, wooden dash, leather seats and advanced body rot by the time it went. |

By the metallic paint and the big huncaps, and the fact that the double chevrons are almost invisible because they're placed behind the grille, this must be a 1949+ version of the Light Fifteen. |

This was for the foreground car, sixcyl And it's UK, yes. |

The foreground chaffeau driven limousine is almost certainly the Rolls-Royce /vehicle.php?id=261668 Also the background Citroën is indicated by a 'frame'? |

I didn't draw the frame. But never mind I'll keep it as background car. Are you sure about the R-R? The rear looks quite different. |

edit: I was...80% sure the door trim and rear wheel arch designs are the same, but they could have substituted a different Rolls-Royce. There appears to be a rear wheel arch cut in the door? The other limo has I think a longer wheelbase? edit: again... Possibly the same if like this /vehicle_196651-Rolls-Royce-Silver-Wraith-1949.html Needs a R-R expert - keep them listed separately at the moment I guess. -- Last edit: 2009-12-05 19:50:49 |

At this time, it was still possible to by chassis from RR, and quite a few other makers like Daimler, Alvis and Austin. The car could therefore be anything that has had a coachbuilt body fitted. Although it is most likely to be a Royce, it doesn't have to be. |
