wlaidlaw Posted January 8 Share #23002 Posted January 8 Maybe a Riley 9 then? By the narrowness of the windscreen, I am guessing it is a small to medium car. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted January 8 Share #23003 Posted January 8 Kt is a small to medium car, but not a Riley. Here's another piece of the puzzle: Welcome, dear visitor!

pippy Posted January 10 Share #23009 Posted January 10 Might it be an Austin? And, if so, might it be named after a rather ancient establishment which is weel-ken't in the world of Academia? Philip. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted January 10 Share #23010 Posted January 10 Not an Austin. This company has been defunct for over half a century, but it started making cars at the beginning of the 20th century. Before that the company did other things. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlaidlaw Posted January 12 Share #23016 Posted January 12 Stuart, It was the bicycles and motorbikes that gave me a clue. It had to be either Triumph or Singer and I knew it did not have the Triumph proboscis, like the Dolomite my father had pre-war (and pre-marriage), after which he changed to a more "sensible" 1939 Vauxhall 14/6, which he came to loathe. As usual for me, open to all to post a new mystery car. Interestingly, George Singer's first important innovation was to provide caster on the front forks of a Penny Farthing bicycle, which provided a measure of self centering, making them considerably safer. At a later point, he was one of the first companies to make a small and light car with all the features of a larger one, with the 4 cylinder 1912 Singer 10.
