Not a Morris but it does have a foreign body as mentioned.

I would bow to Carnut's knowledge of British marques, but I think we just ran out of Rootes Group passenger cars.
Can this puzzle car be based on a ca. 1937 Commer van chassis?

Other than that, it has some ID characteristics of a 1937 Dodge but Rootes and Chrysler did not partner until the 1960's.

It's based on a Commer yes, but not a 1937 model.

1939?

Thanks Bill but my knowledge of the Rootes Group is obviously limited as I had no idea any Commer passenger cars were built before the Cob and some Estate Cars in the 1950s. Clearly the puzzle car is largely a 1938 Hillman Minx Drophead Tourer in appearance (which is what my searches have been based on) and probably uses its parts but has for some reason been based on a Commer van chassis by the coach-builder! I can't imagine why they've badged it as a Commer though; I wonder what Lord Rootes thought!

Yes, it is a 1939.

Locked for you.

Bill Murray · « **Reply #43 on:** July 29, 2016, 10:15:22 AM »

Sadly, I am firmly stuck on this one.

I will continue to look, but please unlock it.

Bill

galrot · « **Reply #44 on:** July 29, 2016, 10:21:24 AM »

Okay, as you wish. It's now unlocked.
