As there's a Morris Commercial J-Type van in the background is this a Morris Oxford from about 1933?

This has me baffled. It's a handsome car, it reminds me of a Riley, but the odd things are the V-windscreen, which was not common in the UK and more likely European, and those wheels. It's very low-rent, mid-range makers like Crossley and Rover would have fitted proper knock-off wires.

Is this a low-volume maker who disappeared after the depression around 1930?

Yes, it's from a low-volume maker who stopped its production before the depression; the windscreen is original, while the wheels of the quiz car are different from other pictures of the same model I found.

I think I've found it - 1923 Palladium 11.9hp. The photo in Georgano shows the same style of "bolt-on" wire wheels.

Yes, it is a Palladium...I have a different model name, so I locked it for you.

It could be their sports tourer which was named the Victory.

I've just found this image, showing the model with the more common disc wheels.
