As presented onscreen, it pulls in in front of YO 678 as it wobbles along, but does not match either of the 2 overtaking vehicles in that sequence. I looked at our recent police Railton find but too many differences - hood-irons, both doors here are rear-hinged, bodywork profiles - for exact match.

tore-40 ◊ 2016-05-01 11:20	Aston Martin badge?
fortengo ◊ 2016-05-01 15:14	Looks like a '36-37 six-cylinder Hillman with an uncommon bodywork. Could be either a Sixteen or – more probably – a Hawk. Rear view of a Sixteen. Notice the badge on the bootlid... -- Last edit: 2016-05-01 19:46:22

Pierre ◊ 2016-07-02 02:42	Related, dsl, though this is another 'sedan' with landau irons. A wonderful selection of Hawks, nonetheless, here on the Database. Any venerable classic I would buy fitted with a rear window blind, you could guarantee the ruddy thing wouldn't work. Romantic but unserviceable, notably after damp had penetrated the (beige) West of England cloth. -- Last edit: 2016-07-02 03:04:39
