@vwdasher The black one was a Morris Nomad? It has a different rear end to the UK 1300?

@vwdasher
That's the same blue as the Alvis used in the tv series "Kingdom" with Stephen Fry but not the same car alas. Still nice though. -

@vwdasher: Wow, that's an old one, probably early 50s. And built in Slough! (But no wonder with RHD.)
Looking closer, there's one detail, which means that it's either a much newer model, that then would have been retrofitted with suicide doors and old speedometer (which is IMHO unlikely) and a lot of other or (more likely) they didn't find a proper spare part: The headlamp tree is the wider one, from a model after they introduced rectangular headlamps in the 70s.

@xtaran According to our state authorities when looking up the plate, it's a 1952 one.

Morgans and a lone TVR. The other TVRs were probably still on the tow trucks.
