Can’t tell if the subject picture is a Tudor, or a Fordor. (Fordor has /A in model designation according to Wiki.)

This is the first Id I have challenged as an admin. If anybody wishes to challenge my challenge, pleas carry on, but I may have to call on the family leopard for assistance.

The one time you decided against it...

This is a British series, so the earliest this could be is 1932 if it was based on a UK Ford. Perhaps someone can recognize this specific toy?

EDIT: veed grille makes this a 34.

This appears to be rhd, I am quite happy to go for V8 [40] if it fits the rhd car. Wasn’t the 1932 the Model 18? The Model 40 took styling cues from the Y, so a ‘32 Model 40 seems a bit quick.

The Elgin Hippos?

But is it the 201 cu inch straight 4, or the 221 cu inch V8?

Please bear in mind this is an animated series. That said, the grille does appear to have a V-shaped profile, with straight bars. Even a (too large, isn't it) V8 badge at the top, but no radiatior cap? Body style could even be a van, by the look of the rear side wall.

@john, as you have a passion for vessels, I think she (PS Lady Elgin) is residing in the deep waters of Lake Michigan...

I was thinking more of the Elgin Marbles than the PS Lady Elgin.
