Wilson Wilson, It's not a Wolseley Hornet or a Nine. I think Wolseley radiator mascots had a 'W' incorporated into the design. 'WINGS' motif radiator mascots were used by several different car manufacturers. Here's another clue: Welcome, dear visitor!

wlaidlaw Posted September 24, 2013 Share #5544 Posted September 24, 2013 The radiator cap could even be an aftermarket bit like a Wilmot Calometer, which had wings as well. The Wolseley cap sometimes had wings just like the one you illustrated. My other guess would be an Austin 10 or light 12, where again rad caps with wings were sometimes used. In that Pressed Steel made many of the bodies for Midlands car makers, they all look very similar. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkCambridgeshire Posted September 24, 2013 Share #5545 Posted September 24, 2013 (edited) Wilson, The car is not an Austin; the car has a bigger engine than the Austin Ten. The radiator mascot is probably original ... it looks the same as an original. More clues Welcome, dear visitor!

dkCambridgeshire Posted September 26, 2013 Share #5548 Posted September 26, 2013 (edited) has some "bentleyish" appeal Nowhere near a Bentley. The British car is an immaculate restoration of a common 1930s model. Four cylinder engine. Top speed approx 60mph ... maybe 65mph downhill. Maybe looks bigger than it really is because the driver is probably short and lying back ... making the steering wheel look enormous ... but it's a regular size steering wheel for a family car. dunk Edited September 26, 2013 by dkpeterborough 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlaidlaw Posted September 27, 2013 Share #5552 Posted September 27, 2013 As it is not a side valve engine, which for small British cars was quite unusual at the time, I think it must be another Morris. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson Why not a side valve engine? You are getting warm. The side valve engine has a thermo-syphonic cooling system - whatever that means. dunk Edited September 27, 2013 by dkpeterborough Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I missed her name and Wilson is the winner in the morals department anyway, so I hand over the cup to him. p.s. the perfect condition and the cooler grid misrouted me a lot in the first tries, shame on me.
