I'm going through some family tree stuff and I've got a photo of my late Nana sat in a car, she was born in 1934 so I'd put her age at 18 to mid 20's perhaps, so this would likely be 1950's so the car could be manufactured late 30s, 40s or 50s.

I've had a look online and based on the window shape, the direction in which the car door opens and the where the trim and wheel arches sit it looks similar to a few different cars. Mostly the Ford Anglia and the Singer Bantam Nine. What I can't find is a matching photo of any of them with the vertical chrome piece featured in the picture, I'm guessing it might be a flipper/Trafficator?

Any ideas what make/model the car is please?

That would be my guess too.

Here's a pic of one with a similar adornment:

Guessing that’s the ex-PPC project car (turbo’d from memory, lowered, lightened and randomly a roof chop biggrin )

I was wondering what that was, thought it was a Rover 214 at first.

I nearly bought a "Scoupe" back in the day but got a Rover Montego instead!
