It is a Morris Oxford; the rest needs work. So technically, no

Technically, that is five guesses. Specificity counts.

Choose a year, please.

Very close, but you missed it by 1 year.

It's this 1930 Morris Six Saloon

I hoped it would follow your 'Cars and Girls' preference.  ;)

Ah - good idea.  ;D

The puzzle car is currently for sale, and is easily found n the 'net.

Quote
Excellent example of this now very rare 'LA' series Oxford.
6 cyl', 15hp RAC rating, 3 speed gearbox, Hydraulic brakes, sliding roof.
Restored many years ago and now has a lovely 'patina'. Interior, including headlining, all correct and in excellent condition.
All correct, matching and fully working instrumentation (even the fuel guage)
Re-metalled and re-ground crank, mains and big ends, rebored and fitted with new pistons, re-lined clutch (cork) and new release bearing fitted.
Two stage charging system also working correctly.
A very useable and much admired family saloon.
reluctant sale due to change in personal circumstances.


With three "Yes" guesses, Carnut takes the point.

Thanks.
I put 1930/34 as that's about when the car was in production; it's very difficult to pin it down to a specific year without a photo and I would have run out of guesses if starting from the wrong end of the guess spectrum!

Another good puzzle!
