chris40 ◊ 2011-01-13 21:20	A70 Hampshire, 1950-4. Close, though
dsl ◊ 2011-01-13 22:27	@chris40 - are you sure about Hampshire?? Grille and painted area above looks more like Hereford to me eg http://www.austinmemories.com/page8/page32/page32.html .
chris40 ◊ 2011-01-13 22:53	@dsl: Definitely. The Hereford was a four-light saloon, similar to an inflated Somerset; the Hampshire was six-light, based on the styling of the Devon. I did get the dates wrong though as you did: the Hampshire was 1948-50, the Hereford 1950-4. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austin_A70
