Yes, based on a Ford - now, what is it?

Were several versions of tourers made on the 8 HP "Y" base, that one looks as the 2 seater offered by Wilsons (Kingston) Ltd. in January 1933.

1933 Ford Y by Abbey?

barrett · « **Reply #12 on:** August 12, 2016, 08:59:09 AM »

Not those. I think Greyhound was a style of body, possibly by Abbotts?

Less known than the suggestions so far.
