It looks late 1940s/1950s to me.

Any ideas everybody?[/img]

I'd say its a 1949/50 Austin A70 Hampshire. Last time I saw one was in a scrap metal dealers yard. I tried to buy it then (20yeaers ago) but it wasn't for sale. Three years later it went in the crusher.
They're rarer now than a rare thing!

I'm also going to hedge my bet and say that if its not a Hampshire, then its an early Devon, but my money's on Hampshire.

Yep I,d go for the Hampshire too. There are still a few about and I reckon he would need those "Town and country" tyres on the back as they are pretty light in the rear end Wink "MO" ps... Nice photo by the way.

It's natural and simple but I can take no credit for the photo or finding it.

It's one of a series on the lost village of Capel Celyn. Google that and there are lots more. If I knew how to point towards direct link, I would.
