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.

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:

My original typo... 'KX' rather than the correct '799 UXK'... (I have an in-built blind-spot having owned a 'KX' registration).

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.
