Andreas, I would not have guessed correctly without the piano player clue. Who else other than Liberace would have ordered a Bradley GT with gold metalflake paint finish and silver candelabra motifs!

I'll post the next car puzzler soon.

Dunk,

 

I saw the instruments but that could be British, French or Italian Jaeger. However I suspect the car is British as I see one of those horrible Autovac fuel pumps. No nation other than the British, would have been perverse enough to persist with such a vile device for so long. Whenever we get an old car nowadays, that has one, we immediately disconnect it and replace it with an electric pump. Other than that. it could be almost any medium sized 4 cyl. 1920's UK car with an OHV or IOE engine e.g. Armstrong Siddeley 14HP/Humber/Rover etc etc.

Struggling. It could be Humber 14/40 as the engine is similar but the spark plug angles are wrong and the radiator has a flat rather than octagonal bottom. Not Hillman or Morris as they were both side valve. Its not a Rover as the early 4 cyl. cars were OHC (Poppe system). Could it be something unusual like an Argyll 12/40?

Wilson you're probably on the right track but it's not one of those marques. Marque production continued post WW2 but is not currently available. 

 

An earlier car with the same model name had a larger engine.

Crossley 14

 

 

Not a Crossley … and Manchester did not have any significant watchmaking industry. 

 

The marque was slightly 'up market' and quite popular in the 50's, 60s and into the 70s.  A later model had an all aluminium engine and a real leather association.
