Similar or the same Wolseley 14/60 (false/prop KVX757 plates?) in Poirot episode 13.01 "Elephants Can Remember"![[Image: 13-0124-56elephants.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/558/13-0124-56elephants.jpg) ![[Image: 13-01gggelephants2.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/558/13-01gggelephants2.jpg) 0:24:56 ![[*]](/res/star.png){kind=small} |

^ KVX 757 was August 46 issue, Essex. |

As reported in Foyle's War episodes 'KVX757' or 'XVX757' appear regularly on various cars for movies and TV use. They are apparently changed from scene to scene, along with other registration numbers, and cannot be relied on. |

admin, shouldn't this be a '38 Wolseley? Post-war models much sleeker, w/headlights in front fenders. |

There are 13 post war 14/60s in the database, and other models as well. The 4/50 and 6/80 which had headlights in the front wings were not introduced until 1949. -- Last edit: 2015-05-28 15:12:12 |

I see. Looks like production stopped in 1940, then resumed immediately at War's end in 1945. |

Most British car companies resumed production after the war by restarting manufacture of their 1939 models. Post war Royces and Bentleys were newly designed, following work done in house to commission new tooling for body panels, but the cars were still close to the 30s styles. Mainstream manufacturers produced their prewar designs until 1949 or 1950, as they changed from designs with chassis to monocoque, and the press work tool design and procurement meant long lead times. Examples, Morris Minor late 1948, Vauxhall E series cars 1951, Austin A40 Devon 1947, Ford Consul/Zephyr 1950, 100E Anglia 1953. All these cars either replaced prewar models, or in the case of the Ford Consul and Zephyr, were a new entry in their particular segment of the market. |
