Quelqu'un peut-il préciser de quelle Wolseley 1939 il s'agit? |

Je vois une ressemblance avec les calandre des Triumph des annees 30-40. Juste une idee comme ca. Mais je fais entierement confiance a nos amis British pour mieux cerner la bete. |

Je continue à penser à Wolseley, les radiateurs Triumph étaient plus larges |

Morris ? 1938 ? |

I think Yvon is right. It appears to be a 1939 Wolseley Eight |

1938 Wolseley Wasp. Eazy clean wheels and narrow slat grille -- Last edit: 2007-09-12 22:56:19 |

I'm not happy about this, but I can't think of an alternative. Are the two cars shown in fact the same one? If so, the back view could not be either a Wolseley Eight (same body as the Morris Eight series E) or a Wasp. Both were six-light saloons and the Wasp was much more perpendicular: http://www.wolseley.asn.au/gallery/W36.jpg As for the front view, where's the illuminated badge on the grille? The front bumper seems to be the wrong shape ... http://www.amwf.ch/images/w_wasp.gif ... and the hubcaps look wrong too, although of course they could have been changed. Oh, and the windscreen's too shallow. This doesn't look British to me. Sorry, everyone ...  -- Last edit: 2007-09-13 10:46:51 |

I have to agree with all that chris40 says. Are these really two different cars? If they are the same car, the rounded style of the rear for me does not match the much more angular front. The shape of the window in the rear door looks more rounded also in the rear view. Also front wings are the wrong shape for Wolseley Eight, plus the windscreen wipers are wrong for the Wasp. Not a British car (or cars) for me also. -- Last edit: 2007-09-13 11:45:35 |

Does anyone else think the left-hand part of the picture is a Mercedes-Benz 170v? ... Possibly the one behind the mystery car in the other half! |

For me, ths is definitely not a Wolseley. That said, I cannot identify what it is. |

Listing changed to "Unknown" in place of 1938 Wolseley Wasp. |

I'm just wondering ... is it possibly something like a Fiat 518?  |
|
◊ 2007-10-12 21:41 |
No, the grille's the wrong shape for a Riley ... I need help from the Eastern Europe experts: is there any chance this is a '30s Škoda? This one is smaller ... http://ned.ronet.ru/0/1936%20Skoda%20Popular.jpg ... but the grille and hubcaps, in particular, look similar. Leoz, I think we've more or less decided these are two different cars. -- Last edit: 2007-10-12 21:43:24 |

i was thinking it is the same car now the original pics from this car for a better identification: ![[Image: 1anne011sv6.1622.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/0is337/1anne011sv6.1622.jpg) ![[Image: 1anne023rr7.3069.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/0is337/1anne023rr7.3069.jpg)  |

Ralph, I'm almost sure your first and second thumbnails are the second car - the one that in the third thumbnail is behind the lady on the bike - which I think is a Mercedes 170v. The main one in your third thumbnail - S60200? - is the one we've all had the problem with, and the one I'm now suggesting might be a Škoda or a Fiat 518. But thanks for trying ...  |

It is a Praga Super Piccolo (1934-36).![[Image: piccolo19342bd742deqi4.2425.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/0is186/piccolo19342bd742deqi4.2425.jpg) The other one is indeed a Mercedes-Benz 170V [W136] (1936-42 & 1947-53). This version is from 1937 or younger. If I am not mistaken it is a pre-war model. |

Nice one, Alexander - even if the thumbnail seems to have disappeared. Still, at least I was half right ... |

BTW was this the thumbnail?![[Image: 34prspidgy9.173.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/0is90/34prspidgy9.173.jpg) |

Not exactly, but identical car. I can see the image, so it might just be a temporary failure. |
