Otherwise main pic and two other thumbs are Series III Wolseleys, apparently. As to the exact model, probably the four cylinder one, 12/48, but it's all in the length of the bonnet and the pictures give little help. -- Last edit: 2014-10-06 08:45:29

I think there are two different cars as the second picture shows overiders on the rear bumper again only fitted on 16/65s upwards while in the third there are none, also the exhaust tailpipe on the offside is usually indicative of a six cylinder so the third one would be a 14/60. -- Last edit: 2015-02-21 21:41:21
