That looks like Brian Johnson (AC/DC lead singer) enjoying a bottle of Old Speckled Hen.

That's exactly who it is. He drove in the car in the MG episode of his "Cars That Rock" series

Not being too pedantic, but according to "Oxford to Abingdon", "WL 3450 was a 14/28 Flat Rad. chassis number 198832, registered WL 3450 on 22 September 1927 as a Morris Oxford. the Old Speckled Hen Prototype Featherweight fabric Saloon bodied by Gordon England. This was the only 14/28 which was subsequently given an M.G. 14/40 car number Allocated 4F 2366 late in 1927 and retained by the works as a demonstrator. Driven by C. F. Dobson on the 1928 London - Edinburgh, gaining a Gold.
So we are both correct!!!

JO 764 was the prototype Morris Hundred Pound Minor. I have a note that it was first registered to Morris Motors Ltd. on 11th December 1930. I'd be interested to see exactly what the Oxford RO record for this car states.
