Is the finned white sedan a Morris Oxford or an Austin A60 ? Or even another badged version ?

White is A55 Cambridge ADO9, with a Magnette ZA in front. Blue on bridge is A35. A feast of BMCs!

The black saloon ain't an Oxford, it's a Wolseley.

The Oxford did not have a chrome surround to the rear window, and would never have been called Series I, it was Series MO, along with the Minor Series MM and the Six Series MS.

Looks like a 4/50 to me, short gap between front wheel arch and driver's door shut line.

Don't quite get that, Riley was part of BMC.

I know, everything on Bridge is a BMC product so 'strong sales in Scotland' :)
Possibly punctuation misleading as '?' was for is it a Wolseley or Riley .

Wolseley subject car should be 6/80 for chrome on rear window - see comment at /vehicle_74886-Wolseley-4-50-1949.html - and because 4/50 production stopped Jan 53.

The date is probably the deciding factor.

The blue in thumb is a Riley 1.5 for badge position and that shade of Riley-only blue.

:king: millions of people know that tune without knowing what it's called, because it was Goal of the Month/Season backing track on Match Of The Day. There's also the timelessly brilliant https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gY5rztWa1TM - I bet even jfs bops away to this on the 8-track in his Bentley.....

No music in my Bentley, and I rarely ever listen to anything that required electricity to be used during the recording process.

As we are commemorating the start of WW1, I offer this to our American participants.
