Ralph,
Is that an old pre-war / post war UK tax disc on the side of the car? It would be interesting to know the details so we can discover whereabouts in the UK it was first registered as the original documentation may still exist. There will be a handwritten up to six character entry on the disc of either two letters and up to four numbers or three letters and up to three numbers. On the example shown below the vehicles original UK registration was DEA 276 - it's the two or three letters that are the important part and show which UK County / Local Licensing Authority first registered the car when new. If you can let us know what these letters are, we'll try and find out more information on the car.
In the example below the letters DEA show that the registration number was first issued by West Bromwich. Further investigation shows that DEA 276 was first issued around mid 1947.
