Who watches Foyle's War?

[V8Ian]

Can anybody identify the light blue sedan, with the split rear window, on tonight's episode?
The roofline looked a little Rileyish but the bonnet looked more like a Ford. It had three bullet shaped vents on each side of the bonnet, 'twas also too low and sleek for a Ford.

T'was a 1938 Riley 12/4 Touring Saloon I believe

Now ask me about my email adress

[V8Ian]

Thanks Jerry, I think you're onto it.
The one I asked about looked quite similar to this.


They must have been coachbuilt as no two seem to be the same. It's amazing that they're all similar though, from the same builder maybe?

If it's this one it's a 1940 Triumph Dolomite, Mr Foyle drives the Riley

[V8Ian]

Yes mate, the Triumph, cheers.
Now here's a trip down memory lane for you. Gotta love the Three Graces, Classic and Corsair; notably absent was any Capri, including the Classic derivative.

How far back does the seat go?

They say it was designed for anybody up to 6'4" in height, been getting lots of silly offers for it

[V8Ian]

That A looks pretty smick.

Ho ho hi ho, I was going to ride but it's just started raining so it'll be air-conned, weatherproof boredom instead.

That leaves me out, I'm 8'2" with my umbrella up.
