The Bucciali brothers built their cars for only 11 years, and during that time they mostly managed to squander a sizeable inheritance. However, their cars were...interesting, to say the least.

The TAV model had front-wheel drive--at least a year before Citroen introduced their ground-breaking FWD 7A. Unfortunately, the TAV also had an extremely high-torque V-16, with the result that it had very poor traction and its handling was as problematic as Rick Santorum's grip on sanity.

I'm going to guess that the car is a Hindustan Ambassador.
However, it could be a Morris Oxford from the '50s, as the Ambassador is essentially a carbon copy of the Morris.

Regarding the dog...I have no clue.
Perhaps Rin-Tin-Tin's Indian cousin?

Car? Try again.

Dog? You may be right.

Hmmmm...
Perhaps a Morris Marshal or an Austin A95?

They were essentially the same cars with different badges

Definitely not a Hindustan Ambassador. Maybe an Austin A95 Westminster.

Sorry about the delay. Spent last evening dodging tornadoes.

You got it Jambo. It's a 1953 Standard Vanguard Phase 2.
Standard Vanguard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The dog is a is a Blue Merle Smooth Collie. Unfortunately, it's not mine.
