Sunbar ◊ 2007-02-16 11:24	Not an Austin 10 Sherbourne but an Austin 12 Harley from 1927-1932 with artillery style wheels (wire wheels 1933-1934). Available with either a four or six cylinder engine, 1535cc (12/4) or 1711cc (12/6). Austin 10 Sherbourne Austin 12 Harley -- Last edit: 2007-02-16 11:27:53

My guess is that it was originally built as a provincial (not London) taxicab or hire car on a low-loader taxicab chassis. Note the division between driver and passengers.

Sunbar ◊ 2014-09-29 14:19	Also seen as VSV668 in the same episode 4.04 Raul1983 wrote another Austin, unless they are changing lisence plates Sunbar wrote VSV668 (not found on DVLA etc.) and as suspected it appears to be the Austin 12/4 special bodied taxi again... I will combine listing later if nothing more found. dsl wrote Seems plate switch - VSV 668 was a white 1956 Renault 800cc (so 4CV??) with Date of First Registration 07 01 1987 until Date of Liability 01 01 1997 (which includes filming date)
