New cat trapped in traffic jam (UPDATE IV: SS1, not in Pakistan, perhaps Brighton?)

• 

Why this charming lady got out of her brand new SS in the middle of the street sure is a mystery to us. We suspect we will never know. The picture was sent to us by Harit from India and at first glance it seems to have been taken in Great-Britain. The BYP on the SS suggests north-west London and CHK on the Vauxhall means it could have been registered in Nottingham. However, these letters and digits of the registration numbers somehow don’t seem to fit, they look kind of different. According to Harit the picture wasn’t taken in India. Could the traffic jam perhaps have been in Pakistan? Enlighten us (RB)

Update IV: Richard Lloyd thinks it like the seafront at Brighton, possibly Grand Junction road. The double-decker would fit.
Update III: Both Halbe Tjepkema and Will de Rothschild are sure this is a 1935 SS1 Drophead and not a tourer because of the difference in windshield posts.
Update II: According to Dick Trenk this is a 1934-35 SS-1 "tourer" body.
Update: We received several updates on this SS caught in a traffic jam. Roger Bowers mentions there was no Pakistan at the time this picture was taken (we have now egg on our face for not knowing this). Adrian Ward thinks it could be Hong Kong and John Robins says... “the location may be Southern England. The HK registration on the Vauxhall Light Six is Essex, not Nottinghamshire. The car behind the SS looks like a Standard Big Twelve from about 1933. What clinches it for me is the double deck bus on the left, and a very English looking Keep Left bollard in the background on the right, plus the SS and the Standard both have round blobs in the bottom near-side corners of their windscreens where you would expect a British tax disc to be displayed.”
