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.

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! :wink:

I think the Wolseley is correct, but wow they do look like a moggy!
