Lang, don't forget the unit sign is about 6" square! Gives a bit of scale.

The car does look like an Austin 7 Ruby, 1935-37 bodywork.

I think the unit sign is much larger than 6 inches. That would make the wheels about 12 inches - Mini Moke size.

Hood bows are too heavy for an Austin 7 as well and I don't think an Austin 7 could carry a full size rear seat like that. It certainly is English and looks about the 1935/6 period. Pretty sure the hubcap says "12" if that is the case most likely a Morris 12.

I will keep looking.

Unit sign is more likely about 8 inches square, though the application on Govt (non-military) vehicles seems to vary. If so, that would make the wheels about 16 inches.

Another option is an Austin 12 with the same caveat about Australian bodies and wheel types.

Only just seen this thread, re. the surveyor's car, I first thought the hub cap had 12 on it, but on a closer look, I think it is the 'W' emblem of Wolseley.
