First one looks like a 1936 Oldsmobile.Second one looks a bit like a Lancia Aprillia but the front doesn't look right.

2nd one is a Riley. First not a Pilot - much too big. It's American and (just) pre war

Thanks folks!

Looks like a winner on the Buick mclaughlin.

The Riley kestrel looks promising , but struggling to match the rear windows . On the images I can find, those with 2 side windows don’t seem to have the same curve to the rear window.

Where I find the curved rear window, they seem to have 3 side windows...

From a friend:

Yes Rover 14 streamline seems to match quite well

Seems similar perhaps from same dealer in Manchester area

1) McLaughlin Buick four door sedan.

2) Rover Speed 14 Streamline Coupé.

The consensus would seem to be:



Buick McLaughlin
