The 52 to 55 SSS cars had the plate mounted centrally on the bootlid, and hinged so that it could remain perpendicular to the road when the boot was over full so the lid was held down by the auxiliary strap. If a Royce, the car would be a Silver Dawn, if a Bentley, it would be a Mk VI. That’s if I am right about the door. -- Last edit: 2019-07-05 22:48:02
