A quick search and I would guess it is a 1934 model...

I looked up the V8 Pilot on Wikipedia and the front grill is totally 
different. It was the first post-war Ford made in the UK and I would have 
known it because the Ford bodyworks were about 200 meters from where I 
lived. In fact my father worked there for a few years as I recall, as did 
many of our neighbours.
