Looks similar to prewar Horches, but hard to tell from this angle.

Should be saved, rare and worth a fair chunk once restored.

You may have it, the grill/badge looks right although the louvres are confusing; there doesn't seem to be a changeover, as though they were sold with both styles(two rows of small louvres or one row of large as here) from 49 to 55.

You missed the Canadian Military Pattern (CMP) truck and M3 Halftrack.

Better views here



The collector might have spent a lot of time in Germany buying up stuff; there are various AutoUnions, Borgwards, Lloyds, Trabants there.

Quite a few Austin 1100s in Thailand (maybe Australian made). The yard also seems to have various Morris Minors, a Triumph Dolomite.
