Worry not. I was first exposed to such things on board a nuclear submarine about 50 years back, and I’m still fairly dim. |

| Bentley MkVI Standard Steel Saloon. 1946-52, but I think it’s probably earlier rather than later. It is not a Royce Dawn. -- Last edit: 2023-07-02 08:40:15 |

| The tanker version is a Bedford OYC. (According to Wikipedia.) We seem to give the earliest date of 1939 for this chassis. | 2023-06-30 14:56 | ||

Since the Regent III in 4.13 was Reading and since the liveries looked similar, I called that another Reading vehicle as giving the best chance of an ident. I shall take a look at East Kent and see what they had. Later Note: they had some AECs that fit the style, ie 36ft Front Entrance D/D, but they have cream roofs. -- Last edit: 2023-06-28 19:24:34 |

| My car was reversed into in a car park. It also had a couple of minor scrapes, so it is all being done, but as the repairs will take ten days I was offered a courtesy car. It was the only estate car they had available. There is nothing wrong about it, but it is annoying to me as it is quite like the Mercedes in concept, but different in detail. The worst part is that I keep trying to change from Forward to Reverse with the windscreen wiper lever. -- Last edit: 2023-06-28 10:42:05 |

I am driving a brilliant white Volvo V60 B3 at present, I feel very conspicuous and I really want my Mercédès back!![[Image: img_0809.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10516/img_0809.jpg) -- Last edit: 2023-06-28 09:06:48 |

| Is the car market dying because the American buyer doesn’t buy them, or because the American industry can’t make enough profit on them? Surely not every American driver wants to be a sort of modern Davy Crockett? | 2023-06-27 17:04 | ||
| Possible- Reading Corporation Dennis Loline III with East Lancs coachwork. |

Welcome to my world. (I hasten to add that my eyesight is well better than that required by law when driving a powered conveyance..) |
2023-06-27 08:21 | ||
| In respect of the difficulty of driving it, I have no doubt that reck961 is correct, the possibility of an elderly person of small stature driving one would mean it has power assisted everything. It’s more a question of legislation and relative sizes as mentioned by others. I also find it surprising that as the world is boiling away faster and faster, there is tax law that not only permits, but positively encourages the use of such behemoths. | 2023-06-27 08:16 | ||

| 1961 Wolseley 6/99. An old friend. /vehicle_124185-Wolseley-6-99-ADO10-1961.html I have purposely not said “Police” because I see no signs, bells or extra lights, even though the driver is wearing what might be a police uniform. -- Last edit: 2023-06-26 11:51:57 |

Not a reliable guide. Link to "rmsothebys.com" Mk VII & VIIM had a split screen, VIII/IX one piece. Unfortunately…. I said VIIM because the bumper appears to curl around to the rear wing, and I can’t see clearly enough to pick out the Mk VIII’s thin chrome strip to divide the colours on two tone cars. -- Last edit: 2023-06-26 11:35:28 |

| Ford (son?) ET6. Or possibly Thames 4D. Manufacturers who change their names, while their products remain substantially similar, are annoying to say the least. -- Last edit: 2023-06-26 13:05:11 |

| That is a far from rare at the time invalid carriage. (AC Invacar Type 57, I think.) The other thing is the almost ubiquitous Austin FX3 taxi. -- Last edit: 2023-06-26 10:07:02 |

| Do you need a Heavy Goods Vehicle licence to drive that thing? | 2023-06-26 10:02 | ||
| It still shows the characteristics of the earlier bodyshell, that shape footwell ventilator appeared in 1938/9, and the wipers… I cannot provide absolute proof of any of it, but what was there when they registered the thing, and what is there now are certainly poles apart. |

| Before any remarks about the footwell ventilator: - Link to "barrett-jackson.com" |

| Not a Ford Popular. Why? The windscreen wiper on the Popular hung downwards from the top rail of the windscreen. There are twin wipers, sprouting upwards from the scuttle on this, so making it an Anglia body shell. Whatever the plate says, they discontinued the Anglia in 1953. |

| I don’t agree with dsl’s conclusion. The Wolseley bodies, had deeper, rolled over sills which I think are visible in the subject picture, the MG bodies didn’t, having a lower build generally and less pronounced sills. Unfortunately the wheels aren’t clearly visible either. |
2023-06-24 08:42 | ||
| /vehicle_869080-MG-Magnette-ZA-1954.html Here is a nice clear picture of an MG Magnette ZA. Look at the sills on the subject picture, this is a Wolseley 4/44 or 15/50 with a fibreglass bonnet and grille aperture/front panel. |

| Mk 8 or 9. 1956-61. If the car in the rear view is the same one, it may have the Mk IX designation on the boot lid. -- Last edit: 2023-06-21 16:34:41 |

| The Australians won after 5 days of absolutely enthralling cricket. At this point I am still reasonably optimistic about the outcome of the remaining matches, but time will tell. The biggest problem concerns the age of the English bowling attack, and the general excellence of the Australian team. -- Last edit: 2023-06-20 21:42:20 |

Fuel was cheaper and the petrol Transit, even in standard form, went well for a van. |
2023-06-19 08:28 | ||
Quite possible if the fleet is the Co-op Funeral Service. |

| That is a Staffordshire plate, and the livery carried is presumably the SVR’s version of the GWR road vehicles’ appearance. LMR vehicles carried the “blood and custard” as per the Scammell, but a Staffordshire plate is not appropriate as the regional head office was in Watford iirc, so their vehicles carried Hertfordshire indices. -- Last edit: 2023-06-18 12:31:49 |

That registration (572UXR) is one of a series of “age related” indices allocated by DVLA to owners of elderly vehicles who might have wanted to cash in on an interesting plate. |

The population of Birmingham is currently 1.149 million. The actual population is probably somewhat larger. The population of Stratford upon Avon is 30,495. There are very few points of genuine comparison. The size of iambic pentameter is a multiple of five, presumably. -- Last edit: 2023-06-18 12:03:19 |

| If the film was made in 1963, the large window doors could have been retrofitted at any time, so the question is possibly an irrelevance. BTW, van not estate car. -- Last edit: 2023-06-17 22:57:27 |

| It looks as though the roof hatch is present, which is a start. | 2023-06-17 10:19 | ||
| If you don’t know who built the body, how can you say it was built anywhere? It looks very like a Hooper Teviot body to design no. 8122. /vehicle_1426578-Rolls-Royce-Silver-Wraith-1948.html Also: the aspect ratio of the subject picture is out of kilter. The radiator is too tall, and too narrow, and the headlamps on the car appear to be oval, taller than they are wide. -- Last edit: 2023-06-17 11:59:29 |

Growing up near Cannock Chase, a large area of woodland and location of a couple of army training areas, the local fire station, as well as a typical Staffordshire prewar Leyland Pump Escape, had two very butch looking Thornycroft 4 x 4 machines to handle grass fires and such. They eventually disappeared, so I suppose the Chase is allowed to burn itself out these days. https://www.fire-engine-photos.com/picture/number7752.asp -- Last edit: 2023-06-16 19:45:22 |
