Identity of Car Make and Model

[ikas]

Not sure the best place to post this. Perhaps a mod will move it if there is a better forum for it.

I would like to identify the make and model of the car in this photo. Photo circa 1960 but I believe the plate means it was registered in Dundee between Jan 1932 and Jan 1948.

TIA

I am no expert but it looks to me like a Morris 10 or Morris 8 c1940s.

Looks a bit like this, though hubcaps are different.

Looks like a late 1930s Rover to me.

Following Handypandys suggestion link above has a  1936 Rover.

I think our photo shows a car whose front doors are hinged at the front, and from what I've found, that may rule out the Morris 8 and 10. Some Rovers seem to have rear-hinged doors too, but another thing with them is that the front mudguards seem to have a cut out above the bumper, rather than going more or less all the way down.

I was wondering about an Austin 10 or 12, though to me the radiator grille doesn't look quite right. Ours is curved with a thicker bar in the middle (like a Rover), whereas the Austin ones look flatter and without the thicker bar.

I am struggling to find one where the headlamps are mounted with those large fittings to the sides of the radiator grill.

Possibly a standard flying 10. bur the immediate post war period 1947-1950 is hard as not many cars were produced and photographs are hard to find.

Apparently you can get a copy of the car's registration records from Dundee City Archives, which will tell you the make of car and the name and address of the original owner:

What do we think about a Vauxhall,what I thought was just sun glare could be the fluting on the side of the bonnet, and they definitely fixed the headlamps like that.
