1937 Wolseley 12/48 Series II
Even with swept back windscreen and radiator, the Wolseley 14/56 was looking dated in 1937. The Series III replaced this rakish Series II model, but mechanically the cars were the same.

1934 Austin 12/6 Light Harley.
There were just two four-door six-light (three windows on each side) saloon bodies offered: a Harley pressed metal car (this car) and a Clifton fabric bodied saloon. For 1932 the fabric saloon (now well out of fashion) was dropped but a de luxe Harley saloon with bumpers and a sunshine roof and open two (Eton) and four-seater (Open Road) tourers were added in September 1931. |

SS Jaguar sports saloon
Pre-war the car was available as a saloon or drophead coupé but post war only the closed model was made. Up to 1938 body construction on all the models was by the traditional steel on wood method but in that year it changed to all steel. Performance was not a strong point but 70 mph (113 km/h) was possible: the car featured the same cabin dimensions and well-appointed interior as its longer-engined brothers.
Despite its lack of out-and-out performance, a report of the time, comparing the 4-cylinder 1½-litre with its 6-cylinder siblings, opined that the smallest-engined version of the car was "as is often the case ... the sweetest running car" with a "big car cruising gait in the sixties" |
