Not a Serie VI but Serie V, with "sharped rear wings"

Actually it is the almost identical Austin A55 Cambridge Mk.2 [ADO9A] (1959-61).
Note the lower position of the boot lid trim, the side trim and the lower end of the rear lights.

I agree with the Austin, but side chromes doesn't match with the A55, it's rather an A99 Westminter 1960

Désolé, Jean-Marc, Alexander a raison; c’est une A55 Cambridge.The side chromes are unusual, but the higher fins and the tinsel under the tail-lights are unmistakably not an A99.

Et voilà, Chris ;) I hadn't seen this since I was in the South of France when these last comments were written.

Looks really like the french Peugeot 404 (normal, it's the same designer)

IIRC the designs Farina supplied to BMC and Peugeot were even more similar; Peugeot left theirs pretty much intact, while BMC mucked about with theirs. Result: the 404 was a much more attractive car than the ADO9s.

An A55 cambridge mk2 deluxe.I would think that a full length body strip was on the single tone deluxe. duo tone cars had trim separating the top colour along rear wing and part of the rear door.

... or it's 1959+ Morris Oxford S5 [ADO9M].

The 59+ Oxford had slightly different treatment to the bezels. more chrome underneath the lens on the cambridge as on this car. Another clue is that the oxford would have had a separate reflector below the main lens similar to the wolseley 15/60. Early Cambridge rear lights were fitted to all countryman and traveller estates untill the end.

Well argued. Cancel Morris suggestion.
