Link to "www.telegraph.co.uk" I have never seen a four seater MGTD. The shape of the dashboard and the position of the instruments and minor controls looks very SS Jaguar, but there is not enough evidence to be certain. -- Last edit: 2016-05-22 18:04:57 |

Yes, it is not an MG, wrong instruments and too big. |

Any chance of a big MG - SA/YA/WA etc?? |

I checked, but all those I saw have flat topped scuttles. Too big for a YT, the Y series was Morris Eight based. I also checked AC 16/80. -- Last edit: 2016-05-23 15:57:27 |

Going by the instrument panel I reckon it is a Swallow SS1. - http://www.simoncars.co.uk/swallow/ss1.html |

Tried googling for pictures of a black or dark blue Swallow SS1 with red wheels and found this "1934 JAGUAR SS1 TOURER 20 HP CHASSIS 248178" halfway down http://sbiii.com/ssjags-4.html which lead to https://www.classicdriver.com/en/car/jaguar/ss/1934/180997?feat=oldlink and http://www.ssjaguardata.com/gallery/zoom/?id=150826 . No hint of a plate, and it's in NL now so the trail runs out, but there can't be many with red wheels .... |

There you have it. According to S & G, the model name "Jaguar" was not introduced until 1936, the company remained trading as SS Cars until post WW2, so 1934 SS1 Tourer looks about right. |
