1933 Triumph Super Eight four door pillar less saloon is suggested as a possibility. Bl—dy stupid image again, I begin to think that nobody actually wants accurate identification. |

Why don't you watch a film for yourself for once and make captures if you keep complaining? |

No way. |

And haven't you ever considered that these cars might belong to someone, that they might still be around? This isn't a background from a 1960s film after all. |

1) Still around? So what? 2) I have been thinking about this while I took the dogs for a very curtailed morning walk, while observing social distancing. Much of the last 50+ years has been spent by me sitting in front of some sort of keyboard, varying from antideluvian electro-mechanical to the latest iPad, earning my living. When not earning a living I have been in, on or under cars of many varieties, from the old and cheap to the old and costly. None of the last fifty years has been spent in a cinema, consequent upon which is some knowledge of old cars, and zero knowledge of films, plus a strong compulsion to spend as little of the time left to me as possible fiddling about on keyboards. Modern mores and “social media” hold no interest so I ignore and avoid them. When trying to identify a car, I start by observation, and trying to recall from memory what I am seeing. With Bentleys, if I have the additional luxury of a plate I can usually pin it right down, but the main idea is to try to maintain my brain in the best condition possible. Only when I have an identification in my sights do I resort to the books. In summary, I am here for the cars, nothing else. -- Last edit: 2020-05-05 12:13:48 |

Or it might just be a Super Nine Six Light Coachbuilt Saloon, but the picture is cut off so you can’t see where the body finishes. |

Illustrating exactly the total unsuitability of the original image. |

It seems to have “Six” on the grille, a possibility being the 1931 Light 12/6 was 1496cc. There was a 1711cc, but S&G says that engine not available until 1934. |
