Advertisement Posted May 22, 2016 Posted May 22, 2016 Hi dkCambridgeshire, Take a look here Name this car..... I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
pippy Posted May 23, 2016 Share #8642  Posted May 23, 2016 Oooohhhh......  What to do? You've not got quite the correct model-name - although you are very close.... An extra couple of numbers (and a /) somewhere in the middle (or a couple of letters for it's abbreviated name) and it's yours.  You are clearly thinking of the correct type, dunk, but as you are probably aware and to be strictly accurate the DB3 was a very low-volume model designed specifically for competition use built between '51 and '53 after which it was replaced by the DB3S which lasted until '56 whereas the model here was introduced as a road car in '57 and was built until '59 when it was replaced by the DB4.  Front of the car in question to make it simple;  Welcome, dear visitor!

pippy Posted May 23, 2016 Share #8644 Â Posted May 23, 2016 Absolutely spot on, dunk. A Tick and a Star. Â This particular example was driven in period by Michel Pilette in various road rallies and is currently campaigned by John O'Roarke of Sevenoaks and District Motor Club. The snaps here were shot at the 2015 'Motorsport at the Palace' sprint event at Crystal Palace Park. Â If I get the chance to see it this year I'd love to get to the bottom of the Ecurie Ecosse badge... Â Over to you, dunk! Â Philip. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkCambridgeshire Posted May 23, 2016 Share #8646  Posted May 23, 2016 Here's the next one - should be fairly easy - but please state the actual model and model variant as well as the actual marque. The car was pictured at the recent Stilton Cheese Classic Car Run at Stilton near Peterborough.   Welcome, dear visitor!

wlaidlaw Posted May 23, 2016 Share #8649  Posted May 23, 2016 Dunk,  Looking at the front with the painted radiator surround, I would now say a Ford 8hp coupé/tourer, which if it is correct, must be quite a rare car. I would guess 99.9% were standard saloons or vans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlaidlaw Posted May 23, 2016 Share #8652  Posted May 23, 2016 An Austin Ruby and maybe quite a late one, 1936 or 37. However it looks like it has the wider Austin 10 wheels fitted (and maybe brakes as well, if the owner is sensible).  Just before I came out to France this year, a friend phoned me and asked if I could pick up his 1924 Austin 7 from having an engine overhaul, as he had just had his hip replaced and did not think he could drive it. His wife will not drive it at all but drove me to the garage near Hastings to collect it. I had forgotten what it was like to drive one of them, with about 1/2" of clutch pedal movement and very little in the way of brakes. I did the kangaroo petrol thing for the first few starts until my brain re-engaged Austin 7 mode but you had to drive it like an Edwardian car with rear wheel brakes only. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkCambridgeshire Posted May 23, 2016 Share #8653  Posted May 23, 2016 Wilson, Not an Austin Ruby; this car has an 1125cc engine.  Best wishes  dunk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted May 23, 2016 Share #8654  Posted May 23, 2016 Dunk,  I was going on your saying it was smaller than a Morris 10/4, otherwise I would have guessed an Austin 10/4 Clifton of around 1935. Hence my guess of a Ruby 7 but with Austin 10 wheels, hubs and brakes. I seem to recall the 10/4 had a 1125cc engine.  Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
