That brings back memories. My father had four door version, bought new in 1936 and mothballed during the war. It was involved in just in one minor accident, another car tried to overtake him on a blind bend,  cutting in to avoid an oncoming car, they caught the front bumper and bent it.

The car was finally sold on in 1959, just as I was old enough to get my provisional license. I only managed to get to  drive it a couple of times.

I saw it still being driven locally in the mid sixties.
