 @dsl: 1949+ because it has separate sidelights :)

 chris - did not see your comment - I was too busy making sure it was not A70 Hampshire because it looks bigger than I expected. Or the man is very small.

 Tourer and Coupe Utility were (only) built in Australia (according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austin_A40_Devon ) so I guess the normal 4-door saloon was built locally as well.

 @dsl: the Devon was quite tall by today's standards - look at the Super Minx (or whatever) next to it. If in doubt - perhaps due to distortion - the Hampshire wore its headlights closer to the grille and normally had spats on the rear wheels: Link to "www.classicandperformancecar.com"

Mmmmm. Any more views? Aus assembled Rootes versions were sometimes unusual. Thanks for Devon/Hampshire hints - the cars of my distant ancestors are sometimes another country for me unless I tread carefully.

 A propos distant ancestors: recently I've read an article about the British gens: the natives from Kent, Northumberland, Essex (East-Saxony), Wessex (West-Saxony) and Sussex (South-Saxony) are closer related with North German and Danish people, than with Scottish and Walisian population.

 Yes - it's actually difficult to trace original British groups. England is mix of middle-North Europe settlers (Angles, Jutes, Goths, Saxons, plus Norse/Viking. Plus also Normans (who were originally Viking Nor(th)men). Celts in SW England from Spain and France and into Wales (Welsh - not Walisian which was a province in Roman Europe I think). Scotland has Gaels from Ireland who were also originally Celtic plus lots of Norse in North. Many other big immigrations in 18-20th centuries from Ireland and all over Europe, and then in 20thC from Commonwealth countries. So as I once admitted, being a UK mongrel is just being UK.

According Wikipedia http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welsch these terms belog together, also the Wallonie in Belgium/France.
In German you say "Rotwelsch" for the dialect/slang of Gipsypeople. Maybe the Swiss Kanton Wallis has a connection, too. :think:

 Wiki's got that bit wrong for Wales/Welsh in UK - no connection with the European cluster.

 IIRC 'Welsh' was simply derived from an Anglo-Saxon word for 'foreigner', hence also probably Rotwelsch. Other possible relatives are Wallachia in Romania, and the Polish name of Italy, Włochy. The Welsh refer to themselves as Cymry.
