Took this picture at a little museum in Lynton, this picture is of the floods they had there in the 50's. Is the car what I think it is?

No, its the Minors big cousin!! Its either a Morris Oxford or Six or a Wolseley 6/80. Very similar especailly from the back and side just bigger.
Too many Minors so little time.....

No trace on that reg number either so I guess it never made it back on the road

That was my kinda thinking. Don't think its a MO though, cos the back end was a bit more curved like the minor one. I'd go with the 6/80

Sticking neck on line here but I think it's a Wolseley - angle of back doors - too straight for a Morris. No doubt someone will correct me!

Now you see why I made such a schoolboy error
