Can you identify this car? Make, model and year to get a point.

As there's a Morris Commercial J-Type van in the background is this a Morris Oxford from about 1933?

Not a Morris...sorris

You didn't reply to nicanary. Is this car British?

Sorry, yes it is British.

Newey 10/12 from about 1922?

targhediferro · « **Reply #12 on:** November 02, 2013, 04:16:28 AM »

Not a Newey.

This has me baffled. It's a handsome car, it reminds me of a Riley, but the odd things are the V-windscreen, which was not common in the UK and more likely European, and those wheels. It's very low-rent, mid-range makers like Crossley and Rover would have fitted proper knock-off wires.

Is this a low-volume maker who disappeared after the depression around 1930?

targhediferro · « **Reply #14 on:** November 02, 2013, 08:40:52 AM »

Yes, it's from a low-volume maker who stopped its production before the depression; the windscreen is original, while the wheels of the quiz car are different from other pictures of the same model I found.

I think I've found it - 1923 Palladium 11.9hp. The photo in Georgano shows the same style of "bolt-on" wire wheels.

targhediferro · « **Reply #16 on:** November 03, 2013, 07:24:50 AM »

Yes, it is a Palladium...I have a different model name, so I locked it for you.

nicanary · « **Reply #17 on:** November 03, 2013, 07:57:13 AM »

It could be their sports tourer which was named the Victory.

I've just found this image, showing the model with the more common disc wheels.

targhediferro · « **Reply #18 on:** November 03, 2013, 08:17:41 AM »

Perfect, a well earned point.
