Classic British saloon cars of the 1920s & 1930s - pre-war Alvis, Austin 7, Riley 9, Morris saloons+

Here, vintage & classic British saloon cars from the 1920s, 1930s (and a few 1940s) make up this pre-war car photo collection. All of the cars featured were either built in the 20s / 30s, or designed in that era but perhaps built for a few years post-WW2 in the late 40s - examples include the Morris 10M, Austin 16, and the Humber Hawk saloons shown at a classic car show a few years back.

Many of the photos feature vintage cars, ie those built throughout the 1920s up to and including 1930, the remainder are post-vintage saloons. All were seen by myself at old-car gatherings inc VSCC meetings over the last ten years or so.
If you're a fan of pre-war British saloons of this type, please let me know in the comments and give the video a like, thanks. If you'd like to see further collections like this, please let me know.

I've tried to include a variety of makes and models, from the once-common low-cost popular models from Austin, Morris, Singer, Hillman etc, with more luxurious offerings from the likes of Lagonda, Alvis, Bentley and Rolls-Royce. The one thing they have in common is that they are all (bar one) saloons, or in a few cases fixed-head coupes. Tourers and sportscars tend to get the most attention nowadays, so it's time that the pre-war saloons get a mention.
I received a request to show Standard Flying 8s in a video, so in the collection are pre-war Flying 8 and post-war "8" saloons and - for comparison - a rare DHC version.
