johnfromstaffs ◊ 2020-02-23 09:08	I chose K4 because it looks bigger in wheelbase, and twin rears. It also has the post war grille design. Maybe another respondent may have better information than my “gut-feel”. Pay no attention to the numberplate. It’s Leeds, 1932. -- Last edit: 2020-02-23 09:11:41
