dsl ◊ 2017-12-18 15:28	Seems from A7 register to be YX 4533 ("chassis 65648, maroon/black, R Saloon?"), on display at Swiss Museum of Transport, Lucerne (http://platesmania.com/uk/nomer9319514). R Saloon looks correct for scuttle headlights, and has wiper (Nov 1926+), but early rear-hinged doors - became front-hinged at some unknown point before [RK] with wing headlights arrived autumn 1928. Can't date YX 4533 issue date precisely, but 1927/28 seems correct. Picture was flipped as broadcast.
