How about an MG B GT?
I think that is " a relatively well-know automobile that most any casual automotive enthusiast from most any land could ID, if they saw it."
Opinionated but sometimes wrong

There were Standard and Austin out of my list, but when He replies "Not a Riley" when I asked if an Austin or a Riley...that means that it should be an Austin..or He should be a bad boy!

It is a post-war Austin closed-body, relatively well-known.....so it's impossible to determinate this one if it's an A-type car (a40,a125....) with only 3 questions left, it's also hard to spot the saloon series (1100-1300-1800), so is that an Austin Allegro, (assuming that not a mini implies not a mini-moke or a mini-cooper as well)?

No

And with that, the panel has been stumped!

The mystery car was the ubiquitous Austin FX4 (AKA, a "London Taxi")
