Might be worth checking if the kithead trust has the records for the car you have the full registration for

Presumably this photo is early 1920's. My father had a 1938 Vauxhall 14 BPP 82. Registration district was Slough. Other common one in area was *KX Beaconsfield. both south Bucks.

Hi,

Just came across your photo and can advise that two of the cars are American and the centre one British. Cars are, left to right, 1926 Overland, 1924 Morris, 1925 Dodge. I hope you don’t mind me using your photo on our car identification Help Pages http://www.svvs.org/help88.shtml .

Kind Regards

Thanks all, my father in law (84 now) concurs with the Bullnose but unsure on the other 2

@Vintman no issues with sharing and when I get to the bottom of it will update this thread

As ever thanks to all the Rootschatters !!!
