Although a background vehicle its referred to in the dialogue as a chauffeur's car (limousine). |

At this distance it is not possible to say whether this is a Triumph 1800 Saloon 1946-8; a Triumph 2000 saloon TDA 1949; a Triumph Renown Mk I TDB 1949-52; a Triumph Renown Mk II TDC 1952-54; or a Triumph Renown Limousine 1951-2. The Limousine has an extended wheelbase, and a division between the chauffeur's seat and the rear compartment, and only 190 were made. -- Last edit: 2014-01-16 16:33:03 |

Found it... 1952 Triumph Renown This car was also recently used in the Miss Marple episode “Endless Night”. 799 UKX http://www.raymentlewisweddingcars.co.uk/triumph-renown.aspx |

799 UXK in all its glory. Maybe here as well - /vehicle.php?id=37570 -- Last edit: 2014-11-20 22:20:48 |

Shame that it carries such a noticeably anachronistic registration. Reversed registrations started about this time, but index letters beginning with "U" did not arrive until about 1957/8. |

Ooops. Plate is 799 UXK (not UKX) and was not issued in period, so non-dated (modern?) re-reg for some reason. DVLA says: ✔ Taxed Expires: 01 July 2015 ✗ No MOT Expired: 02 August 2013 Date of first registration :13 April 1954 Year of manufacture :1954 Cylinder capacity (cc) :2088cc Fuel type :PETROL Export marker : No Vehicle status : Tax not due Vehicle colour :SILVER |

My original typo... 'KX' rather than the correct '799 UXK'... (I have an in-built blind-spot having owned a 'KX' registration). -- Last edit: 2014-11-21 12:39:11 |

Plate info is 1954 - despite what hire company website says. As date of first reg'n is very precise, I tend to trust it. It is definitely a 52+ Mk2 in linked pics - push-button door handles and big rear window, but I also don't think it's a Limousine as no division apparent. |

Yes, I was unsure about that also. From earlier comments and the Marple episode itself, I assumed it was a Limousine. |
