Does anyone recognise this model?

Post by RogerRust »

Not the woman - the car!

I'm sure I should know what it is but it annoys me every-time I see the magazine. From the headlamp and indicator it looks British.

Looking at the beach it might be wise to consider antipodean versions of Brit cars too. :wink:
Older and more confused than I could ever imagine possible.

Ver similar but the grille and chrome strip down the side look different - The chrome strip looks Wolseley / Riley ish....

The grille is the wrong shape. In the first picture it is an oval shape not a half moon one. Plus look at the body panels - where they shut for the bonnet - they're totally different.

It was made in Britain in 1953!

Not Wolseley or Riley.

I was thinking Nash / Metropolitan- but without a side view that's a very basic guess! The colour is a bit subtle for that though.
Were they made in uk? I know they used UK running gear but can't remember if the different' styled body was made here or in the USA.

I thought that but the panels are wrong and the Metropolitan grille has a chrome surround.
