The vehicle details for HLE 901 are: Date of Liability 01 01 2008 Date of First Registration 22 05 1958 Year of Manufacture Not Available Cylinder Capacity (cc) 2200CC Fuel Type Petrol Vehicle Colour BLACK I agree with chris40. My thoughts are that it is more likely to be Wolseley or Morris (shared the same body) around the period 1937-1949). As I cannot see the Wolseley badge on the boot, to me it is possibly a Morris 10/4 but I cannot find a rear-view to confirm. From the information I can find, some Morris saloons had the spare wheel mounted at the rear under a cover?
