A one and a half litre HRG?? screen looks different to the one I know but worth a shot Wink


Unfortunately no, Dr.S.


As a clue, not sure whether these were a standard fitment but there are a few Singer and Ford (3.3ltr) engined versions around.

Nope, you could buy these in the 1930's, however numbers were limited.

By it's name, it suggests that there could be a racing history. I'll check this evening after the paperwork and the BBQ.

Aaw, Peter. You have more imagination than that. Afterall, look under that cover on your drive  Grin

1914 Sentinel Standard Steam Wagon.

In preservation not far from me.

2. Are you sure?

Lorry, you were so close, a bit more research you would have hit it on the nail.

Firefly, You got the right angle there mate.

So Mr. Z, have you as the font of all knowledge of classic vehicles got it yet?'

Read the clues, part of the answer is in the first clue.

As an aside, 'racing' was not part of the question or a direct clue although the photo was taken at Brooklands. So I think your recent remark was unfounded.

Combine all the clues, you should at least get near.

Colin Chapman's original backstreet Austin conversion?

Who's Les Francis??

Its the badge that puts me off.  It looks like an MG, but no Octagon badge or axle fairing thing, and its classy.

Must be an Aston then
