S.S. Jaguar. FNK is County Council of Hertford, May 1940 to Nov 1941, and may be a bit suspect.

1940 2 1/2 or 3 1/2 litre.

I have recorded as above since: -

a) nobody has commented.
b) I don’t know how to tell how many litres from the back view.

If further information becomes available, please advise and I will change.

Not meant to question your appraisal, but still, out of curiosity:

-I guess the 1½ Litre would make a lousy police vehicle, but how can you tell it isn't one, from here?

-The filler neck, was it moved with the makeover in 1937?

I doubt this will help:

What is this silver, bubbly thing on the right of the car's front here:

The usual way of splitting these things is by the width of the radiator grille and the size of the headlamps, which is the silver, bubbly thing, or at least, one of them.

1937 2 1/2 litre sold by Bonhams, April 23.

In the last but one picture, you see the fuel filler in the same position as the subject vehicle. This car is reputedly a 1947 vehicle.
