Sunbar ◊ 2016-03-12 12:30	I would say its an Austin 12/4 1930-1933 High Lot, by the height of the windscreen (also the numberplate was generally placed on the roof on the 'High Lot' plus the early (1933-35?) Low Loaders. In later examples the front numberplate got moved lower to just under the headlights over the centre of the radiator, fitting on the bumper seems to be rare in the case of the Austin.
