Can anyone identify the car on the left?

[Thankyou4calling]

It belonged to my Great grandad, anybody have an idea what it is?

[pilchardthecat]

are you sure there isn't a fking great horse tethered to it, just out of shot on the left?

Some kind of "Shooting Brake" ~ one of the larger marques ~ possibly American. Hudson ... maybe not. They were not a rare sight on UK roads when I was a nipper ~ a long time ago now.... The name will come to me eventually ~ just as soon as I get my few remaining memory cells lined up.

I believe there was even a 'Dinky' toy made of one of those larger shooting brakes....

The one on the right is a Morris Oxford Shooting Brake/Estate car. Yes, I know... that's the easy one ...

Shooting Brake S-Line. This is where it all started.

I would strongly advise against throwing a can of red bull at that fking massive horse.

Good lord...............

Quite a big vehicle for the time. Austin Sheerline based by any chance?

Looks like the Q7 of its day.

Problem is there were a lot of little coachbuilders around back in the 20's and thereabouts.

Looks a bit like one of these

On second thoughts (too many ribs above the wing, although the filler cap seemed to be in the right place) Rolls?
