Dating photos of my Nana Doris with a car

[LenaGarner]

Hi all, Looking for some help with dating these two photographs of my Nana Doris with two cars in North Yorkshire, England.  Any help much appreciated

To me they look 1940's & 1950's.

Hi     

The lighter-coloured car looks ( to me ) like a Riley Kestrel abt 1940.     

I've no clue as to the other.

OH agrees the second one is a Riley. He's usually right.

The dating of the car (just before WW2) fits the dress style.  In the upper photo the clothing looks very similar to photos I have of my aunts dating from the late 1940s into the early 1950s.

The difference in the faces could suggest a gap of around ten years between the two photos.

Hi (Lena)


If the fotos are of who I think they are ( b1921 ),     
then they were possibly taken late 40's?     
( She looks older than a teenager )

Going by the sidelights, I would say photo 2 (the lighter car) is a Mk IV Jaguar saloon.

Could AVY 791 be an SS Jag?

Hi Ray,
Thank you for your replies
It is indeed, my nana Doris Garner (nee England) born Christmas Eve 1920 but registered Jan 1921.  Can I ask did you know her or did you deduce who it was from the info I gave?
I also have a photo of her when she was 17 but the quality isn't great and she defo looks a lot younger than she does in these photos!
