Baube ◊ 2021-10-29 16:19	Black as make or model ? ..
johnfromstaffs ◊ 2021-10-29 20:12	We appear only to have one manufacturer called “Black”, which was defunct before the 1930s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Motor_Company
johnfromstaffs ◊ 2021-10-29 20:33	Austin 18 “York” or similar. Very difficult from the available evidence to achieve any degree of accuracy.
Sunbar ◊ 2021-10-29 22:19	Austin 18 “York” looks possible nothing to prove otherwise I think. Looking at other possible saloons seen, if only partially, this could be another contender but I cannot say this one looks like an Austin? Cropped and enlarged.
johnfromstaffs ◊ 2021-10-29 22:46	Don’t think that’s an 18, looks more like a 10. Body bits match.
Sunbar ◊ 2021-10-31 13:29	I'm now thinking they could be two different Austins and that the main picture is more similar to this 1935 Austin 12/4 but cannot prove it is the same. Likely to remain an unknown Austin.
