I'll bet a fiver that Southdown 'AEC' is actually a Leyland. Southdown used little else. Bodywork by Harrington (Cavalier I think), a firm that was on Southdown's patch - Harrington also bodied the now desirable Sunbeam Alpine Le Mans coupe.
Two online sources concur, Mikey. 1964 Leyland, according to DVLA and at least one other. Although I have to admit I couldn't tell by looking at it.
You're right, thanks. I just had something in my head saying it was an A.E.C. and I couldn't really be bothered to check.

Pristine MG TC in Woburn.
Green MGB Roadster, also in Woburn, wire wheels, looked in great nick.

Lots of cool old stuff at Brighton Speed Trials today, not extracted those from the phone yet. Meanwhile Mrs SWH was at a school year reunion this afternoon, and one of them turned up in this... smile

From yesterday:


1963 Humber Super Snipe by Zack S. Classic Cars, on Flickr

A couple of cars that I didn't manage to photograph were this Humber, which had gold Torq Thrusts, and a purple Jensen-Healey parked outside the local golf club.


Fiat 500L was in Surbiton






On arrival in East Molesey, there was a wedding reception featuring a Daimler DS420, a Bentley and a Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow




There were a couple of classics parked outside the Hampton Court Concours of Elegance, specifically an A.C. Aceca and a Mercedes-Benz 280SL


Finally, this Austin-Healey 100 was parked a few roads from the railway station

Driving near Limoges earlier today I was alerted by my partner to a 'Ferrari' behind me. I caught a glimpse in the mirror of a Daytona Spyder disappearing round a roundabout. I'll never know if it was a real one...
