TEI #6 - Solved: Moveo 3-litre Coupe, 1932

[Tom_I]

Can you identify this rakish machine?

The make and approximate date will be enough to earn you a point.

Do the experts have any ideas about this one?

Moveo 1932
Constructor based in Preston, UK
Meadows 3 litre engine
Body by Jensen
Possibly the only car built

That's right!

Does anyone have any other pictures of this car?

This is the only one I have seen. It's from an old Motoring Encyclopedia published by Amalgamated Press, which I was given by a friend of my father's many years ago. There's no publication date on it, but from its content, I can date it with reasonable confidence to 1932. Quite how the Moveo made it into this book I'm not sure. The photo is credited to The Autocar.

Despite what the article says about three different models being offered, as Woodinsight says, it is thought that the prototype 3-litre coupé was the only car that was built.

Thanks Tom_I
I have the same book but I believe it was produced in 1936/37 (my edition anyway).
Lots of interesting things to be gleaned from it.
