This dark grey over silver scheme with red wheels looks like the one used for the fleet of Humber limos collected by Alan Marshall, a potato merchant from Hull, for his Humber Cars Museum (which seems to have closed in 2018 with the fleet sold on).

But no comments found that there was a Packard among them.

NV 1234 plate series was Northants, March 31 to Oct 37, so looks like its original issue as a UK-sold car.

Said to be a Packard 120 here

Possibly a Packard One-Twenty model 120-C Touring Sedan? Body looks right to me plus the engine size, however apart from google searches I have no other experience of Packard models.

The Packard 120 and its six cylinder stablemate was a lower price Packard in the mid price range....along the lines of Buick.

That paint scheme is a bit flashy for a Packard, certainly not factory. A lot of men seem owners Dem to paint their cars the way they THINK they looked. They ate often wrong.
An equally flamboyant (to put it politely) Packard is seen in Series 11, Ep. 5 of this series.

The rather flamboyant colours is probably due to these cars in the UK being regularly used for hire as wedding cars and a more subtle plain paint job would be less appealing (unless it was on a Rolls-Royce or similar more exclusive limousine).

Agreed about other car's paint scheme, I have found the Packard in series 11 and will add it soon.
