dodgefidi6 AUthink you may find this to be a 1 1/2L RMA , about 1947, if you see the shot of her with the Austin Atlantic you will notice under the chrome strip on the edge of the bonnet is the chrome swivel covers that expose the holes to get to the bonnet release catches which the later models & the 2 1/2L did not have, what do you think? 2007-12-13 13:02

1952 Jaguar XK 120 Roadster
Marple: The Body in the Library (2004)
rpcm PTAltough it's not possible to see if it has the painted sidelight housings, this XK120 Roadster seems to have the footwell ventilators introduced in November 1951 ( 1952 model year ).

1950 Austin A90 Atlantic Drophead Coupe
Marple: The Body in the Library (2004)
marsh ENThis is a 1950 Austin A90 Atlantic drophead coupe, finished in Seafoam Green. Although the model was launched at the 1948 Motorshow at Earls Court, no production cars were actually built until the spring of 1949, shortly after the record breaking attempt at Indianapolis by Alan Hess, Charles Goodacre and Dennis Buckley in April of that year.

This particular car is very well known within Austin circles and is unique in having modified rear wheel spats very similar to those of the contemporary Jaguar XK120. This modification was carried out very early in the life of this car at the behest of its first owner. So distinctive was the result that when the car was restored in the late 1980's and early 90's this feature was retained, although the owner has a restored original rear end to be grafted back onto the car when it is repainted in the near future...

Built with the lucrative post war American market firmly in mind, the Atlantic was not a success stateside, with barely 350 cars exported, despite best efforts by the Austin Motor Company and a number of forward looking features, such as curved windscreen, hydraulically operated windows and hood, central fog light and 90+MPH performance, despite interesting handling characteristics! It was however, more successful on the home market and indeed down under where there is a thriving club to cater for and preserve expamples of this brave vision of the future. Of 7981 cars produced, there remain perhaps less than 300 worldwide, with just 30 or so on the road in Britain.

Dropped by Austin in 1952 with the announcement of BMC, the engine and gearbox of the Atlantic found a more successful home in the Austin Healey 100 BN1. The Atlantic was much misunderstood in its day and time has been a little more kind and surviving examples are now highly prized by their passionate (and usually slightly eccentric ) owners. I can say that, as I own one!

pilou a écrit the 2 1/2 litre had a six inches longer wheelbase

It's actually 2 1/2 litre RMB.
Two molding on the step expand toward the fender and reached to the high position. 1 1/2's molding is more shorter.
And rear sprit bumper shows it's pre Sep.1951.

1949 Riley 2½-Litre RMB
Marple: The Body in the Library (2004)
pilou BEThis is obviously an early post war Riley RM series.But based on the picture it will be difficult to make out if it is a RMA 1 1/2 litre or a RMB 2 1/2 litre car ( Note :the designation RME was only used on the later 1 1/2 litre cars built from october 1952 to mid 1955 ).
The external differences between the two versions were tiny:the 2 1/2 litre had a six inches longer wheelbase and that could be best spotted on a lateral view of the car.This made it sleeker than a 1 1/2 litre.Other difference :the Riley radiator badge was light blue enamel on the larger car and dark blue on the 1 1/2 litre.So the difference lies in the engine , not visible here.If the picture is not too distorted , my first impression was A 2 1/2 litre RMB from ca 1949
