Is it something that's more mundane? Rover?

Wendax · January 08, 2013, 07:42:44 AM

No, not a Rover

Lea-Francis ?

HRG?

Wendax · January 08, 2013, 10:15:00 AM

No to both

The chassis and wheels look 20s, but the body style looks 30s. Is it a re-bodied Morris Oxford?

Wendax · January 08, 2013, 10:25:06 AM

I think that it is a rebodied 1920s car, but it isn't a Morris.

Hillman?

Wendax · January 08, 2013, 12:49:10 PM

No

Perhaps this is a rebodied Bond (F.W. Bond of Brighouse, Yorks) c.1927?

Wendax · January 08, 2013, 01:24:12 PM

No, the marque is less obscure

woodinsight · January 08, 2013, 01:44:58 PM

Star?

Wendax · January 08, 2013, 01:46:14 PM

No

Armstrong Siddeley?

woodinsight · January 08, 2013, 02:07:47 PM

An early Lagonda?

Wendax · January 08, 2013, 02:09:49 PM

No to both, and less upmarket

woodinsight · January 08, 2013, 02:15:31 PM

Vauxhall?

Wendax · January 08, 2013, 02:15:55 PM

No

Ehhxekt · January 08, 2013, 02:28:57 PM

Could it be a Jowett?

woodinsight · January 08, 2013, 02:30:23 PM

Wolseley?

Yes, locked for you to find the model.

7/17?

Wendax · January 08, 2013, 05:07:45 PM

Yes, it's a 1926 Jowett 7/17. It was rebodied in the 1930s or 1940s. I have a coachbuilder's name. Locked for you to find it out.

Ehhxekt · January 09, 2013, 04:48:14 PM

I found a source that tells us that the body is made by E. D. Abbott of Farnham. What is a bit confusing is that they refer to Abbott as a well-known Scottish coachbuilder...

Wendax · January 10, 2013, 01:11:17 AM

Yes, that is the same information I have. I'm not sure myself how trustworthy this is.
Anyway, the point is yours.
