I think you have done your homework well. 99% sure it was one of the 6 cylinder export cars. Also with RHD, it is perfect for your country without modification. Good luck and welcome to the site.

There was some discussion a while back about when Packard made their last 6 cylinder model.
Supposedly the last catalog 6 cylinder was the 1947 model. But they continued building them to special order for export and taxicabs after that. They continued building the 6 cylinder engine up to 1952 or so as a marine or industrial engine.

A 22nd series 1948 should bear the chassis or model # 2240 and the body #2282 (export touring sedan) or 2286 (export taxicab).

That's a fairly rare car. Packard only built 3951 6 cylinder cars for 1948. That included all of the taxis and exports. I should be able to reduce the number more when I can get to my research data.
Either way, I'm sure you will enjoy it if you get it. Welcome.

If that's the car I think it is (turquoise blue?), it's a 2282. Although the car configuration is rare for 1948, I don't think that getting parts would be much of a problem. Other than the RHD conversion bits I think most parts are available from the usual US vendors. I'm assuming that the six cylinder engine is basically the same one used in the Clippers.
The 22nd/23rd series Packards are well built cars and I would imagine pretty rare in England. Not easily mistaken for a Ford Anglia. Good luck.
