Could this photo of Uncle Chris Routledge be 1932 ?
« on: Sunday 16 April 17 18:20 BST (UK) »
Could anyone make this picture a bit clearer please?
Does the type of car fit in with being around 1932, I think it could be my Great Uncle Chris possibly going off on his honeymoon.

Yes I think the car fits well to 1928-1932 period.

Although there are some detail differences it also has many similarities to a 1930 Morris Minor tourer.

Routledge is a North of England name.

Hope they did not honeymoon in Whitby and return home up Lythe Bank in that car
