 West Sussex, 1933.

Therefore Light Six ASY/ASX

Twin wipers, so possibly an ASX 14hp.

Dick Barton ref must be a remake (this one??) - I didn't see it in the 1948-50 trilogy.

 Is Dec 1933 too early for a 14/6 [DX]?? Have H&H got their wires crossed??

 Is the plate kosher on this car?

DY/DX models not introduced until 1935, acc to Wiki, and also S & G.

Scroll down, in the first link, there is a picture of an ASX Stratford Tourer.

If anyone can see a solid front axle in the subject picture, that would rule out DX, which had Dubonnet “knee action” ifs.

I think that this car has a solid axle, also, the radiator is further forward on the later cars.

 And it clearly shows a solid axle and cart springs. T’ain’t a DX, whatever H&H think.

Not just any old ASX Stratford Tourer, but PO 8625 in what might be a period photo - one of four different Sports 4 Seaters by Duple, Holbrook, Offord and - as captioned in this case - by Wittingham & Mitchel

So H&H got it wrong - slightly surprising for a well-documented car with known pedigree.
