Hadfield-Bean 18/50, 1928. No survivors as far as I know. Known in its day as the "Has-Been", and the tradition continues.

LOCKED for FrontMan. Not an 18/50 which I think was a model prior to the Hadfield merger. Just need the model designation.

14/70 Sports? My early copy of "Georgano" suggests that Hadfield's took over in 1926 but did not immediately update the branding. The old 14hp was still plodding along, presumably wearing its "Bean" badge.

(I still get nightmares about having to identify each of the Ceirano Brothers as they fire-off questions about Bugatti type-numbers and Edwardian-era Daimler model designations :nerves:).

Yes, it's a 14/70. From 1929. Don't get me started on people who refer to E-numbers and W-numbers for certain German prestige marques.
