 I popped the plate number KUV944 into Google images and found the source image, identified in a Japanese book as an Invicta:

Nothing on check sites for KUV 944, a London plate, May-Sept 1949 "allocated in blocks", but car looks older to my non-expert eyes, probably pre-WW2. Maybe a classic which went to Japan long enough ago to have missed a DVLA record.

 Looks like a 1931-35 Invicta 4 1/2 litre S type to me, but working entirely from memory. Post war Invictas looked nothing like this, there is a Black Prince Byfleet dhc on the site for comparison.

Once again, coachwork possibly by Carbodies

 I wonder who in Staffordshire could afford an Invicta in 1932?

Not that many, probably a Pot Bank owner. Doesn’t strike one as being an AGB Owen (he of Rubery Owen) sort of car, 3.5 litre Bentley more likely.

 Hang on a minute.

Which way round did Staffs CC do the registrations? Was it all the RE series on motorbikes, or was it all the RF series? Not near my book and can’t remember through this drug induced haze. If all the motorbikes were RF, something’s not kosher.

 Staffs seems to have been a hotbed for 1932 Invicta S-Types - also RF 9470 - https://www.flickr.com/photos/misterperkin/3712948064/ , http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4012/4586540712_a28f849556.jpg

 ^^ Bikes were the RE series, cars E and then from Jan 1925 went to RF.

 Don’t know what electric prunes are, and, to be truthful, it’s antibiotics which are being pumped into me.
