hi
Not the bus. It might have been posted on a bus enthusiasts site but they often go car and van spotting on these street scenes.

It's the Cowley on the right.
I took it to be a commercial version with a painted grille, a typical giveaway.

Hi
MV got it, it's not an MO it;s a saloon version of the Cowley.

I think the odd thing with the MO is that it appears to have a curved top to the door window frame (or maybe that's a curve on the railingsbehind, in which case the door window is frameless!); the rear side window shape also looks a bit odd; maybe some sort of 2-door coupe?

No, Penman, it's not a Cowley! The 1200cc Cowley version was introduced in July 1954 based on the Mk2 Oxford. These earlier MOs were all Oxfords (or LCVs). This is an early car with the pre-1952 grille, or perhaps a Martin Walter conversion on the van base, which retained this grille style.

edit: OUM is a 1951-52 Leeds registration, so I reckon it's a standard Oxford.

This one arrived yesterday, I know little about veterans - Darracq maybe?

Looking for coal scuttles with 4 louvres I came across this De Dion Bouton. (Z type ??)

Not very similar otherwise I must admit.

I think you are right, Peter. I would also say De Dion Bouton Z type (8hp).

One thing about these veterans I have noticed is that the oblong radiator mounted with brass surround and script seems to vary from one car to another. It would be interesting to know if, originally, the cars just had a couple of finned pipes for cooling as this seems to have.?

[Penguin45]

Any of you chaps able to take a punt on what this might be?

Have been contacted as the chap thinks it may be a Wolseley but it doesn't match any of my records. Looks a bit Morrisy around the radiator to my eye.

Thanks,

P45.

Singer 10/26 perhaps? MikeC will be along in a minute I'm sure.

If the car behind is any sort of a clue, I would say it might be a Singer.

'34 Le Mans perhaps?
