BGW 25 was London, Aug-Oct 1934. |

There really is so very little to go on. The car would have been about fourteen years old at the time of filming, the leather interior looks rather well worn, no doubt having suffered hard use in its life as a taxi. Guesses start, obviously, with a Rolls-Royce 20/25 with some D-back limousine coachwork, Hooper? We then percolate through the various strata of Daimler, Lanchester, Armstrong Siddeley, Humber, Sunbeam, Talbot, Austin, plus some foreign makes, European rather than American, though. Unless the shape of the scuttle or the little detail moulding at the bottom of the windows means something to someone, “unknown” is where it must remain. |

Mirrors are different. |

Not easy to see, but the reason I discounted that theory is that the “wedding car” has its windscreen wipers mounted on the scuttle under the screen, the “vote” car is seen with the windscreen open, and two dark smudges above the top rail suggesting that the wipers are top mounted with no sign of any wipers underneath. Scuttle mounted wipers and an opening screen is an odd combination because, as can be seen in the “wedding car” main picture, the parked wiper overlaps the bottom rail of the screen. However, as I know from experience, ancient screen wiper mechanisms do develop play in the linkage. -- Last edit: 2019-04-09 14:03:43 |

Added closer view of the "vote" Rolls. |

^ Quod erat demonstrandum. Still not 100% certain of the coachbuilder of the “vote” car though. -- Last edit: 2019-04-09 14:04:47 |
