 A cad's car with a long bonnet and a little dog kennel so probably an SS I.

Ich nehme an du wolltest "Na, na, na" übersetzen? "Naah naah naah" heißt soviel wie "Nee, Nee, Nee" oder besser "Nein, nein, nein!" :p

Perhaps you didn't look at the cars I own on my profile? The SS 1 would represent a step downwards, at the least, from the Bentley.

Had you already the Bentley in 1950? :p
This is my point, to associate the car with the date of the picture.

 I could not have had "social envy", or my Bentley in 1950, I was 2 years old. As it happens the Bentley has been in the family since the early 1960s.

The SS I would have been about fifteen years old in 1950, and seen by the middle class English as a car to leave to black marketeers and nouveau riche, the middle class would have preferred a new Rover or Wolseley.

The early SS cars were sold on flashy looks and cheap mechanical parts, taken from mundane Standard cars, so were much less than half the price of a Bentley, but looked as though they could have been of high quality. William Lyons' genius came from turning a company that put flashy bodies on basic chassis in the 30s to producing cars like the Mk II and then the E- type and XJ in the 60s. There would have been a very different perception of the driver of the SS1 and the driver of a Mk II 3.8 litre in the golf club car park.
