BSA or Ariel twin - late 1940s. |

Ariel KH, if it's a twin; looking pretty new, so probably 1949. Dear dsl, not being very good at linking or connecting things: what's the c.1919 2-str outside Horns Inn, Goosnargh on the Longridge (vs. Longbridge) Archive? I'm wondering if there's another example on the database. I'd guess early Standard, or something like a Clyno, without any confidence. |

Hi, Pierre. Although the subject is strictly 'off-topic' here, to help in the future in linking in general...

Sorry - far too old for me. You'll need The Experts On Ancient Things on that one - johnfromStaffs, nzcarnerd etc |

I feel fairly confident in eliminating the two makes suggested by Pierre, Standards had squarish, shouldered radiators and Clyno did not build their first car until 1922/3 and it looked a bit more up to date than this. Further, I would add that the car looks to pre date 1919, there seems to be no electric lighting and my guess would be more like 13/14. Two makes crop up from the shape of the radiator, Riley, but they built their own wheels and they are wire spoked, and Maudslay, but the car doesn't look big enough, even the Sweet Seventeen was quite large. I'll keep looking, unless anyone has any better knowledge. Where's the late Bill Boddy when you need him? |

Or your namesake, Honest John, indeed. Thank you for more plausible suggestion: early Rileys did have rounded radiators. Wouldn't have thought of Maudslay in 100 years ('Veteran/Edwardian/Vintage' - go, John!) Guidance well received, Sunbar - will persevere, although pasting and hudl still something of a mismatch for me, and one spends far too long on tablet. Off-topic again - apologies - will check Help page as regards nominating all those great films not yet included on imcdb. |
