Who can identify these cars?

I've found an old pic of our hotel possibly from the 30's. I'd like to know what cars are in the picture. I'd checked the two visible licence plates, but without success. Any quizzers out here who know?

Could the one on the right of the front door be a Daimler straight 8?

I would love to know what the second one in on the left is??

It a lovely photo, and one thing for sure, they are not the cheaper cars of their day! 80" 80" 86" 88" 90"

Wanted, Forward Control Anything considered.

The second one from the left looks a bit like a Ford V8 to me. The Bonnie and Clyde type one. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

Regardless of the cars, the clientele was top notch at your Hotel in the 1930’s Smile

It was a private house at that time, it became a hotel in the 50's

Second in from the left definitely looks like a '33 / '34 Ford roadster, like this:

I also thought it could be a Riley from the radiator but then the curved front bumper doesn’t look right for a Riley.

I thorough that the second from right might be an Armstrong siddley 30 hp but probably not?

(My father used to drive one just after the war as a taxi for his uncles)
