johnfromstaffs ◊ 2014-12-14 17:21	I continue in my assertion that this is a Morris-Cowley twoseater with dickey. The three quarter rear view of the camera foreshortens the radiator to reduce the "bullnose" effect, but the dickey is similar, as are two piece windscreen and the other points made above. -- Last edit: 2014-12-14 17:25:00
