Can you identify this old car?
Discussion
The "Thumbsnap" logo is obscuring a good percentage of the bits that would help identify it. Can you post the picture upside down so that the car can be better seen. (It will drive people with iPads mad as they'll never see the pic the right way up!
Alternatively, wait until it drives by again and get a picture with the car in the middle!

I guess in answer to the question, what colour? Anyone you want, although it might appear the wheels are two different colours.
There was a theory that RED appears very black in B&W photo's of the day.
My random guess, "Belsize Bradshaw", but there were many, many, light car makes before the A7 and later the Morris Minor dominated the market.
As said above, tongue in cheek, - a better view of the radiator would have helped.

Looks like RS 60xx.
RS was issued in Aberdeen, so fits with the location in Banchory.
I think the third digit's a 2.RS was issued in Aberdeen, so fits with the location in Banchory.
Not one of the 11 possibilities shows up on Vehicle Enquiry. No great surprise - the odds on it surviving until the 70s and the establishment of DVLA are miniscule.

Surely you mean the Morris 8? There was a theory that RED appears very black in B&W photo's of the day.

Back on topic, it looks as though the rear wheel is solid disc and the front is spoked. Car was probably several years old by then anyway so not a surprise.
