Hi,

My father passed away last year and while going through old photos I found one of this car.
Can anybody help identify it. After some family research we found it was bought in around 1947/48 secondhand.
Any information/pointers would be grateful as I have had no luck so far.

Tom.

I'm going to guess at a Wolseley Nine tourer.

What a great little car, I thought it might have been a Riley, but well spotted.

Lovely photo btw.

The giveaway is the illuminated logo on the radiator, they always had them; possibly the coolest car badge ever

Bodywork by - I think - Eustace Watkins. Very pretty.
