I'd go for a 1937 Buick (by the size, the fenders, the spare wheel and the bumpers) but somehow I've got the impression that the bodywork is british...?

I agree that its looks british. Its not a 37 buick - the rear end is completely wrong.

Not British for me.... hub caps wings and spare wheel trim look wrong looks American I think.

Number not found - it also has CD plates so represents a diplomatic car so could it be another European make?

This is a 1937 Buick Limited model 91 with a special limousine body by Thrupp & Maberly of England.The hubcaps used by Thrupp & Maberly were not Buick.The style of the car is typically English,with a high body, reminiscent of Thrupp & Maberly big Humbers.Not as elegant as the original! A similar car is listed in G.H. Dammann's 70 years of Buick with a UK number plate JM 3643 so maybe more than one unit was produced in this style.It is possibly a right hand drive McLaughlin-Buick chassis , but pictures do not allow for identification

Yes, pilou has right!

This is a 1937 Buick Limited model 91 with a special limousine body by Thrupp & Maberly, on a right hand- drive McLaughlin-Buick chassis, with still royal emblems on the rear doors, I did sit in this car this morning,it is still a nice car,more than 30 years in warm-storage,
black leather in the front and grey bedfordcord in the rear,and... real buffelskin on the floor in the rear,
and a telefhone-system to give the driver instructions.
