This is more likely to be an Austin light 12/4 'Harley' saloon of about 1934/5. It's a shame the registration number is obscured.

The registration number appears to be CV 7637. https://www.vehicleenquiry.service.gov.uk/Default.aspx didn't give a result, so I tried https://www.cartell.ie/ssl/servlet/beginStarLookup?registration=cv7637 https://www.vehiclecheck.co.uk/?vrm=cv7637 and http://www.ukvehicle.com/CV7637/ They all agreed that it was an Austin MC1675 (whatever that may be). Vehiclecheck.co.uk and ukvehicle.com also reported it as being first registered in December 1932. [Image: jeevesandwoosters2e3002032cropped.jpg]

Does 12/4 Harley still work on a 1932 date??

Yes, I think so from this...

Light Twelve

The Light 12 was introduced in 1931 as the Harley saloon with a six-cylinder 1,496 cc monobloc engine rated as 13.9hp for tax. ...
In 1934 the Ascot saloon was introduced with a boot covering the spare wheel but retaining the exposed radiator. For a short time both Harley and Ascot were available.

... which suggests 12/6 Harley. I struggle with these, but S&G (the bible jfs uses as well) puts Light 12/4 as 1933+. Light 12/6 was 1931+, and Harley is mentioned with both. 1140cc as DVLA doesn't match at all, but is an often unreliable field.

No "Six" script on the grille.
