It could be a older tourer, or later Magna. Probably not an
L or N Magnette. Not an SA, they had rectangular lover/venting (sorta
like some Duesenbergs) I'd guess it may be a WA. Not big by American
standards, but a lot bigger than the Midgets.

The S,V, and W series cars were fairly substantial, and the W in
particular was *big*. As far as I know they were six passenger,
four-door saloon cars with fairly nice appointments and big (well,
relatively big) engines. They built the WA to compete with large
Jaguar saloon cars of the time; in fact a few of them ended up being
used as German staff cars in WWII.

This is from memory, but I think the S, V, and W cars all had running
boards.
like an early midget (J, K?). I'll trot out a few books tonight and
see what I can come up with.
