Received from Adam Stacy-Marks on July 13, 2018:

"The engine/steering column for this car is in ch. no. TN1554. Reg RM 3927 owned by Adam Stacy-Marks According to Clare Hay the RN3030 car was scrapped pre-war and nothing is known of it from the last owner GD Morris 1931. It is presumed the parts were incorporated into TN1554 at that time and when rebuilt with an Austin body late 30s

The above image of the car crossing a ford but not displaying a number plate I suggest is actually Ch no. RN3032, Eng no RN3030 & Reg no is RA 4578 and this car was owned by W.R.clark in New Zealand in 1953 which is when I imagine the photograph was taken."
