wlaidlaw Posted May 15, 2022 Share #17463  Posted May 15, 2022 The bonnet shut line and scuttle shape suggest a 16/80 (2 litre) Lagonda but the rounded corner windscreen would be very unusual, given that they normally had a square cut framed screen to meet the hood. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuny Posted May 15, 2022 Share #17466 Â Posted May 15, 2022 The Riley does have a similar rear, as do others of the vintage and purpose, but this one is not a Riley Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuny Posted May 16, 2022 Share #17468  Posted May 16, 2022 Hektor - You continue to amaze me with your near-encyclopedic knowledge of small, automotive details.  It is indeed a 3 1/2 liter Bentley Derby, of mid'30s vintage (I had no opportunity to question the owner).  It's a pleasure to see these old beauties used rather than just being polished and shown.  Your turn.

hektor Posted May 16, 2022 Share #17469  Posted May 16, 2022 Hi Stuart, Many thanks for the compliment. It helps to have worked on the cars and could only afford to have many cars in the past by doing my own work. My greatest pleasure was rebuilding Alfa Romeo 105 engines. I will find a photo tomorrow as we are heading out to dinner to celebrate my surviving yet another year.  https://www.florentino.com.au/grill/ Keep well, Hektor 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NigelG Posted May 16, 2022 Share #17472 Â Posted May 16, 2022 FYI A bit of digging shows it to be a 1937 Â 4 1/4 litre. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit of more detailed digging in the entry list of Shamrock Vintage Rally 2022 shows it is a 1936 Derby 4 1/4 litre. Driven by Stuart and Emily A. But what do we know and who wrote the entry list? 😉 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NigelG Posted May 16, 2022 Share #17474  Posted May 16, 2022 (edited) Hmm, curious. Going by registration records it was first registered for the road in the UK in March 1937 🤔 I suppose it could have been constructed in (maybe late) 1936 and not registered till the following year. Factory orders/build sheets would show - but maybe we should just appreciate it’s getting properly used!  edit HRCR event entries list it as 1937 Edited May 16, 2022 by NigelG 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I hadn't a clue about the actual vehicle pictured, Stu, I was intrigued by your 'cloned out' remark and duly noticed the bit circled here which certainly helped narrow-down the name of the Manufacturer...
