The engine has been enlarged from the original 1250cc to 1500. I thought the grille was from a later TC but I was told it was original.

Pyrogallol Posted October 4, 2020 Share #13682 Posted October 4, 2020 Not a car but the subject title reminded me of this print I have. It is in the photo archives of the Bloomfields fishing company and I was told that it was the first motor lorry in Great Yarmouth. I guess it’s Edwardian from the dress. Unusual number plate seems to predate the 1903 standard UK system. Interesting railway style buffers and round radiator. someone here might know something. Welcome, dear visitor!

My uncle's car was one of only two that came to Australia in the fifties. Left hand drive cars could not be driven on Australian roads at that time as part of the protectionist policy that lasted until the demise of the motor industry. Accordingly two Gullwings (W198) were converted by Arthur Rizzo in Sydney. Unfortunately the car never exceeded the speed limit when I was a passenger so had to wait another twenty years for that pleasure. Leica IIIf red-dial, Ilford FP3 in Rodinal Welcome, dear visitor!

Jim J Posted October 5, 2020 Share #13687 Posted October 5, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) Nice car. I could be wrong, but I always thought that the reason left hand drive cars could not be registered here was because of a perception that it was unsafe to drive a left hand drive car on our roads. The import duties and tariffs that existed on imported complete cars (as opposed to CKD, which attracted lower import charges) should have taken care of protecting the local industry that we no longer have. I'm pretty sure that LHD cars could be registered in the Australian Capital Territory back then, possibly so that diplomatic personnel could drive cars from their own country. Anyhow, enough of that.

pippy Posted October 7, 2020 Share #13695 Posted October 7, 2020 It reminds me most strongly of a Jaguar Mk. IV but those were (AFAIK and I'm way out of my depth) only available as two-door versions... Philip. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted October 7, 2020 Share #13696 Posted October 7, 2020 The Mk4 was made in a four door version but unlike this car, both front and rear doors were front opening (suicide doors). Wilson 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sayers was a Gt Yarmouth 'Ice merchant' / fish merchant ... there were several 'ice houses' in Gt Yarmouth and Gorleston. Lots of ice was required for distribution of boxes / barrels of e.g. fresh herring ... transported all over England via the rail the network . Ice was harvested from the Norfolk Broads during the winter. Wherrymen would break the ice and then scoop it into their holds using a “dydle” which was basically a large wire net strung between long poles, before transporting it off for storage in one of the ice-houses. Ice was needed in plentiful supply by the fishing industry at Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth ... both for the fleets themselves as they set out to sea, and later, for packing the prepared fish into barrels for transport. All three Gt Yarmouth railway stations operated fish trains ... some combined with passenger trains. Fish trains travelled at 60mph ... fast enough to keep fish fresh for the markets. Gent wearing top hat could be Mr Sayers ... Sayers is a well known / common name in Gt Yarmouth. The Commercial Motor Magazine archive includes the following ref a Beaufort lorry exhibited at the 1905 Olympia Motor Show (Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders Exhibition) BEAUFORT (173).—A iscwt. (sic) delivery van and a 3ocwt. (sic) lorry are on this stand. The latter has a 2-cylinder 12h.p. engine, which is capable of developing up to 18h.p. The lorry on view has recently been working at Great Yarmouth for Mr. H. J. Sayers, a well-known wholesale fish merchant, who wrote to us on the 12th instant as follows : --" The lorry leaves here next Tuesday, and I ant very sorry to part with it. The more I see of it and the work it does, the more convinced I am of its success. The engine is perfect, and it has surprised me several times when put to a severe test : it has never failed once." The unladen weight of this machine is about 2 tons scwt (sic) OP has given me permission to post the image on Facebook's 'Great Yarmouth Remembers' ... thus anticipate replies from Gt Yarmouth historians with more information BW dunk Edited October 8, 2020 by dkCambridgeshire 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The WA had I think an unusual single combined hinge-barrel arrangement between the doors and this has individual front and rear hinges so I think it must be the previous model which was the smaller engined but equally stylish SA (though to be honest in all other respects I think the rear quarters as shown in the pic are pretty much identical). I think there was another smaller again engined base version but I think that had steel wheels? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
