I reckon the max speed of 40mph is probably a shade optimistic

Maybe downhill with a stiff wind behind!

The car appears bigger than say the smaller staff cars so may well have a bit more oomph. Example, the Humber Super Snipe could reach approx 80 MPH so

Going back to this Tim, I think the car in the photo is a Vauxhall 14/6 [14 HP, 6 cylinder], if I'm right that could reach about 70 tops.

I had and restored a 1937 Morris 14/6 and that had a similar kind of 'performance'. Not really built for speed as Britain didn't have much of a fast road network. Those long stroke pre war cars had lots of low torque but the engine was working hard at full chat. Tax was also based on horsepower hence the popularity of smaller motors.

Was asking me the same question, and some google-ing told me that yes.. it's old.

Someone posted an old random 1950s 35mm slide.
Found another snapshot of the guy.

Dad sure is stylish and can pull this style of even today.

It'd be something like "vaqueros"
