25/30 or Wraith. |

What is your supporting evidence? It seems the position of the radiator suggests 25/30, the Wraith radiator is further forward as the whole power unit was moved forward in the chassis. -- Last edit: 2019-07-14 16:14:13 |

There is, to my view, not total certainty in this, as I said originally. It looks to me, like the earlier model, but the view is limited which does not help. |

I am quite sure that this is a Wraith, dating from 1938-39. It is a Park Ward limousine, to design no. 13317. The reason I say this is because of the position of the radiator grille, the size of the headlamps (R100), and the way the headlamps are mounted to the wings, as opposed to the base around the radiator apron. The front wings are very typical of Park Ward in being free of any crease or bevelled edges, as well as being symmetrical in its curve. The windscreen is also that of Park Ward on their Wraith limousine design. It is quite steeply raked and tall, to allow more room for passengers. There are some more pictures on here of the car, which further prove it to be what I say it is. The exact shape of backlight shown in the in-car shot, for example, was not seen on any other coachbuilder or on Park Ward's earlier designs. The swage line shown on the exterior shot also proves that this is a car to design 13317. |

As you wish. As I said earlier, there isn’t much to see. |

This is a (25/30hp) Wraith, not a 25/30 hp. |
