It's a Humber Snipe or Super Snipe. The 2.8 straight six is the Snipe, the 4.0 litre straight six is the Super Snipe. Both came in the two window style like rjk's picture, but I'm not sure what the hell it was called (saloon body, sports saloon body, 4 door coupe, who knows). Also, the hood ornament will have been a Snipe (bird).

The only problem with the above picture is the door hinges. On rjk's pictures it looks like the hinges are at the top (it could just be reflection / light on the picture) and bottom of the door, whereas on the wikimedia picture, they're at the middle and bottom of the door and similar Humbers don't have that (top / bottom) configuration from what I've seen on t'internet.

Haven't mentioned anything about panel gaps in this thread. At least Audi intergrate it into the design. Jaguar manage to do it, why can't BMW. :o;)
