chris40 ◊ 2007-08-18 21:30	Definitely pre-war; it has spoked wheels with the smaller hub-caps than were fitted to the post-war pressed-steel wheels. I once had a 1939 model 12 hp, which this resembles; it might be a larger model, a 14 or 16 h.p.

Pity we can't read the badge, which I think would indicate the h.p., but with those side vents in the bonnet I'd say it's a 16 h.p. Also in episode 1.01 takes the place of the green car in a night-time scene but is actually JHX473 and therefore black in colour. 01:03:46 JHX473 again in episode 4.01 'Invasion' 1:03:12 -- Last edit: 2017-02-10 19:38:53
