~~Owen \ Magnetic?~~
Belsize?

Djetset · « **Reply #26 on:** May 26, 2010, 09:30:22 AM »

No, not a Belsize.

Owen?

Djetset · « **Reply #28 on:** May 26, 2010, 09:34:12 AM »

No, a more significant 'brand.'

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #29 on:** May 26, 2010, 09:38:39 AM »

I've few candidates left...
more significants means it's not a Marendaz, Duplex or Guy.
What about a Lanchester 30HP?

Djetset · « **Reply #30 on:** May 26, 2010, 09:50:44 AM »

No, it's none of those!

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #31 on:** May 26, 2010, 09:52:43 AM »

2 major suspects:
Lanchester 30 hp?

Djetset · « **Reply #32 on:** May 26, 2010, 10:07:26 AM »

Not a Lanchester.

Wolseley 21\60 HP?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #35 on:** May 26, 2010, 10:17:24 AM »

Sizaire-Berwich made a prototype in 1926...

Djetset · « **Reply #36 on:** May 26, 2010, 10:17:46 AM »

As a bit of a clue, it is worth noting that this car was also available with a six cylinder engine too, which was more commonplace.

Alvis 8\15?
(Normally I would check my guesses, but I'm far from my material...)

Djetset · « **Reply #38 on:** May 26, 2010, 10:28:52 AM »

No, Alvis has left the building

Railton?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #43 on:** May 26, 2010, 12:50:22 PM »

Just to see if I got it right:
Great Britain
8-cylinder
#1: available also as a 6-cyl
#2: not a very minor marque like Vulcan
#3: closer to Hillman than others
#4: more significant brand...

Alvis
Arrol-Aster
Arrol-Johnston
Belsize
Beverly-Barnes
Hall
Hampton
Hillman
Lanchester
Owen
Railton
Rolls-Royce
Sizaire-Berwich
Sunbeam
Vulcan
Wolseley

It can't be a Batten, Brough-Superior, Duplex, Leidart, Palladium, for #2 and 4
It can't be a Burney...seems to young for being a Daimler, Ford, Jensen, Riley, Talbot or Triumph...

Leyland?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #44 on:** May 26, 2010, 12:58:04 PM »

If it's not a Leyland Eight...then I'm afraid it's not in my index!

Humber 20/65 Coupe of 1929

It sure looks like one of these or a 16/50...but weren't those 6-cylinder cars?

João · « **Reply #48 on:** May 26, 2010, 01:32:39 PM »

It´s a Whitlock ?

Woodinsight gets the point with the 1929 Humber 20/65.

Although the sister Humber 20/55 all had six-cylinder engines, a few 20/65s were built with eight-cylinder engines immeditately prior to the Hillman merger. I have the source material at home, so I will dig out my old books with evidence when I get home at the weekend.
