526 HLD was London Jan-March 64, so not the original plate. |

Unless it’s a P5. |

Fairly sure it's not a P5, or a normal one at least. Side grilles are too high up and it has that slightly squashed look of early-mid 50s Silvery Something. Also straight over-riders, unlike the squiggly things on its neighbour. |

Wasn't it next to impossible to put a plate on a UK car that made it seem newer than it was? I remember a mate buying a Mini that had been owner of a personal plate, about 1968, and being most indignant when Staffs County Council gave it an A plate! If not a P5 it would possibly have to be a Silver Wraith, as long chassis SC3s were all saloons says S&G, the Silver Wraith long wheelbase ceased in 1960. The problem is that you can't see enough of any of these to make a certain id, without more knowledge than I have. -- Last edit: 2020-07-31 17:26:52 |

I think that only applied after obviously dateable suffix plates - ABC 123A etc came in. Before then no-one was very bothered because the apparent date could only be decoded by geeks with specialist guidebooks. Which I suppose 50+ years later sums us up today ..... |

There are 2 Silver Wraith LWB in the picture. No Phantom Vs. |

That is only a partial identification which is why I have gone no further. There seems to be some disagreement about the coachbuilder, so as I said above, I have left it. |
