1932 SS1, built by SS Cars, Ltd. The company ceased production during the war and was renamed Jaguar in 1945. Neal was close, but the car wasn't an Austin. LuxBob is correct as Lyons was a co-founder of the company, and the car was named SS. Take it away, LuxBob!

Apologies if I have answered this twice but not often that I get things right - my wife will never believe it. I have a photo in mind, taken on my iphone (permissible?) but it might take until tonight to locate it.

I had thought that Neal had it right with the Swallow. Was there not a connection between Swallow and SS? Was it Lyons himself?

i-Phone?!!!! I think we are sailing pretty close to the forum "etiquette rules" already (given the discussions elsewhere on whether this place should be a repository for Fine Art photos or snaps). :rolleyes:

 

William Lyons started a company called Swallow Sidecars in Blackpool UK; this went on to manufacture cars under the SS name, until that moniker began to have dark connotations some years later and they changed to Jaguar.

Here it is, I trust that this is not too mean but I think a challenge is appreciated.

Mmmm...looks kinda French, maybe a Citroen?

Perfect, yes, it is a Citroen. Snapped at a garage full of cars of all sorts of ages on the road between Arlon and Bastogne in Belgium. It would be nice to pass by again when I have more time and do some justice to the many cars just standing around.
