It is pictured from somewhat above and this has the effect of reducing the apparent depth of the radiator, but the three groups of louvres on the bonnet side suggest Oxford rather than Cowley, at least from the pictures I have seen. I’m also ruling out the Empire Oxford as the subject car doesn’t seem long enough and the Empire Oxford was a relative failure in terms of sales. Unless anyone has better evidence. -- Last edit: 2019-02-16 23:13:46
