Friday Alvis Royalty ? (update: 1938 Talbot Ten Sports Tourer )
A most charming appearance on the postcard we recently picked up. An almost professional smile and garment chosen and displayed with flair. And of course a quality motorcar to match. The whole image has a thirties 'Vogue' appeal. We may be wrong but the section of car in pictured is showing strong resemblance with an Alvis short chassis tourer, but no doubt you will help us out. There is an abundancy of helpfull details. The louvres, the fold down windshield construction, the shape and three hinge door and the built in trafficator right behind it to name a few.
But having said that the eye was also attracted by the lady's seahorse broche and crowned 'GR' lapel pin. Any connection with royalty here? Or is it an just adornment made available by one of the dozens Royal Whatever Clubs?

Could this be an SS11 (later Jaguar) four seat tourer from 1934/36?

It was not until October 1933 that "SS Cars Limited"(to become Jaguar/1945) materialized from SWALLOW Coachbuilding(William Lyons becoming sole owner in Jan. 1935 with stockholding sale of co-owner William Walmsley), "SS" MAY refer to early SWALLOW with supplier of engines & chassis, STANDARD Motor Company.
The car captioned has three(3) door hinges, three(3) ribbed running board, and EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLE(soon eliminated with SS90).
The dished door first appears(?) in "1932" as "SS 1" tourer option(w/coupe- hardtop/sunroof? also available), but saloon was added 1934, all chassis' widened two(2) inches.
This would seem to be the "wider" tourer version, to be safe a 1935 "SS 1"(2 or 2.5L sidevalve six).

The brooch is a little unusual as it shows a Queen's crown and GR...which Queen had a name beginning with "G"?

Whatever the car, the golden smile and golden hair were worth taking to War.

It could well be an MG door handle, but I don't believe it's an MG car, certainly not the windscreen, mirror or bonnet side. Nice photo!

The scuttle isn't long enough for an Alvis. Maybe an 'AC'?

The teardrop windscreen pillars were quite uncommon at the time. Whilst they were used by Triumph, the rest of the windscreen features are clearly not.
The louvres virtually to the rear edge of the bonnet are another giveaway- what we are looking at is a 1938 Talbot Ten Sports Tourer similar to this http://www.simoncars.co.uk/suntab/slides/u_Talbot%20Ten%201936%20tourer%20side.jpg

30's, VdP, but is it an Alvis? Sloping firewall, raked louvres, body and steering wheel all look right, but windscreen looks wrong to me as has a curved top - later replacement? A1Tom

I would say either Talbot Ten or Sunbeam Talbot Ten Tourer (1936-1938 Talbot or 1938-early fifties Sunbeam Talbot)
technically somewhat close to a hillman minx
kind regards Thomas from Tyrol
