Copy of photo
Registration is. CAE 939

[SMJ]

CAE is a code for a Bristol area registered car.

No image on the second link either, unfortunately.

As SMJ says, CAE is a registration originally issued in Bristol. If I've understood the following page correctly, CAE followed by a number (1-999) would have been issued between November 1935 and October 1936, so presumably it's from somewhere near the end of that period. (CAE is also shown as being issued in 1958, but I think that would have been ones with numbers before letters.)

It looks like a Morris Eight. Produced between 1935 and 1948 according to Wikipedia

Yes I'm pretty sure it's a Morris Eight.

Slight correction, it dates from 1932 to 1938, replaced in 1938 by the Morris 8 series E, a more modern style which lasted until 1948.

I passed my test in one
