nzcarnerd ◊ 2015-09-13 19:53	Maybe a Rootes group product - late 1930s Hillman or ????

johnfromstaffs ◊ 2015-09-14 22:36	I think it might be a Standard Flying Twelve drophead coupé. This is the later model with the fencer's mask grille, earlier ones had a two piece grille with a vertical division. http://www.simoncars.co.uk/coachwork/mullinerltd.html -- Last edit: 2015-09-14 22:48:47

Sunbar ◊ 2019-11-06 21:38	The Flying Twelve Drophead Coupé was introduced in March 1937. Flying Twelve with waterfall grill from October 1937, model year 1938.
Sunbar ◊ 2019-11-06 21:48	Enlarging it the vehicle's front wings and grille looks more like a Hillman Minx and not a Flying Standard?
