dsl ◊ 2015-12-14 19:18	Update - see /vehicle.php?id=870756 - it may not be 1945 but could be 1955, and/or it may not be Churchill

dsl ◊ 2015-12-16 23:40	So Humber Pullman?? Year?? It's not quite the same detail as the other one, but very similar shape

THX commenced March 1948, for private vehicles, but that may not be a clue. Could the plate read SMX (1/48 to 9/49)? In any case the lines of the vehicle look so like a Thrupp and Maberley bodied Pullman that I would go with that. Once again, as with any coachbuilt or low volume motor car, minor deviations from standard, or no standard at all, could be achieved quite easily, plus the vehicle 32760 being a WD car and therefore quite likely the recipient of modifications. -- Last edit: 2015-12-17 10:16:31
