Definitely not a Jaguar Mk.II: Link to "digitmotorsport.com" |

It is a Riley Two-Point-Six (1958-59). |

DatsunZ, would you mind not to delete your own comments, even if they turn out to be incorrect. It is very confusing for other members to follow a discussion if initial comments are missing. |

I am not sure that this is in fact a Riley Two-Point-Six. It has a Riley Pathfinder / Riley Two-Point-Six rear bumper, but it does not have the chrome trim all along the side of the car and the boot badge is in the wrong place too. -- Last edit: 2009-07-19 05:20:28 |

So could it be the (almost identical) 1958 Wolseley 6/90 series III ? |

Does anybody recognise the style of number-plate? Could it be a 1960s diplomatic car, a blank plate with a crest? If so its possibly an export version or modified-upgraded, but it does appear to be a Wolseley with a Riley bumper as indicated by DynaMike... Possibly a Wolseley is more likely for diplomatic use without the Riley's (garish) two-tone paintwork and they thought the Riley's bumpers looked stronger for London use? |

Though this street doesn't really look like the natural habitat for a diplomatic car... |

Agreed.... and there are no CD plates (unless could it be a small CD plate). CD plates I think were common even in the 1960s. I cannot be sure but I think I remember small oval CD plates but not this shape. This looks like a crest or badge. However, there are probably some odd features seen on the car. It doesn't only look as though a number plate has been removed but that its intensionally blank with what looks like a small shield or badge? It implies to me that, by law, the car does not have to be registered in the UK for some reason. |

To deal with some of the complications above ... I too think it's a Wolseley 6/90. It's possibly six years old and it's not impossible that a damaged bumper has been replaced with a Riley one that would fit. Furthermore, I think your CD plate (yes, Sunbar, before the introduction of special diplomatic registrations small CD plates were the norm, but they were a bit of a nonsense because you could go into an accessory shop in the Edgware Road and buy one) seems to be actually a (possibly self-adhesive) white figure 6, replacing one damaged or missing on a dingy plate with separate silver-grey characters which I think I can discern.![[Image: 608a.th.jpg]](http://img190.imageshack.us/i/608a.jpg/ "http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/3172/608a.th.jpg") -- Last edit: 2009-07-19 13:17:37 |

Well done chris40 .gif ":)") - That all makes sense its a Wolseley that's been in an accident. |

OK, be nice about the two-tone paint work, I have a Riley Two-Point-Six in two tone grey. BMC called two tone \'duotone\' By the way, the Two-Point-Six was also available in one colour if desired. The lack of Two-Point-Six chrome on the side of this car and on the boot suggests a Six-Ninety, but the lack of Six-Ninety chrome on the side is also a problem. The boot script is correct for a very late Wolseley Six-Ninety Series III. The Two-Point-Six number plate lamp / reverse lamp surround was different from the Six-Ninety unit, but the shot is too far out of focus to tell here. -- Last edit: 2009-08-02 10:31:48 |

No disrespect was intended about Riley's use of two-tone paintwork, 'RILEY2.6'.  I probably associated it with some of the more "memorable or unusual" colour combinations used by some manufactuurers and thought fashionable at the time. |

No worries! I have to admit that I would not paint my car in Black and Chartreuse Yellow, although it had been used in the 1920s on other makes. Also, as a Riley owner I would really love to find a Two-Point-Six or a Pathfinder in a film; not likely though!:( |
