I'd have said Conquest, but not certain enough to risk ridicule from someone who knows.

Probably a 1939 Plymouth P8, assembled at Mortlake, RHD, and called a Chrysler Kew or Wimbledon

74 Mk1 Escort 1360, 1971 Vauxhall Victor SL2000 Estate.

Thanks Guys. The centre one, DVLA confirms its a Chrysler, but looks like a Plymouth P8 in google images. A bit of confusion around about Plymouths badged or built in UK and sold as Chryslers. According to information provided me [Jim] by a European researcher/writer, the name Plymouth was not well thought of in England--how accurate that statement is may be open to debate, as other Chrysler models were sold under different names as well as Plymouth. The English Plymouths were sold as Chryslers--in this case the Chrysler Kew and the Chrysler Wimbledon. (Both suburbs of London by the way). The Kew was fitted with the small bore export engine, while the Wimbledon had the regular U.S. built engine. Only in 1939 did Plymouth market a car as the "Plymouth"--this an equivalent to the Roadking model in the U.S. It had a floor shift transmission. Next in line was the Kew and then the Wimbledon--available in a 7-passenger body type or as a U.S. based convertible coupe although a Carlton bodied four place convertible victoria was offered. 1939 was the last year for the English built "Chryslers". Incidentally the assembly plant was located on Mortlake Road, in Kew, Surrey, near the world famous Kew Gardens. Even the real Chryslers were renamed--including Richmond--and in one case, the "real" Chrysler Eight was sold as a Dodge!

the name Plymouth was not well thought of in England Perhaps they didn't want to alienate the London Dry gin drinkers - AFAIK they tend to outnumber the Plymouth gin drinkers...   |
