Totally unrelated question (except it's another early 1930s saloon) - can anyone identify this line-up of several apparently identical things![]() ![]() ![]() RB 6454 was 1932 Derbyshire issue, and the photo is an uncaptioned display in the Cromford Mill exhibition for the world's first water-powered cotton spinning mill developed by Richard Arkwright in 1771 in Cromford, Derbyshire, and which is now the centrepiece of the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site. |

The subject car is a Morris Ten Series 1. It is probably a Ten-Six, there is a blurred badge in the top left. Link to "en.m.wikipedia.org" -- Last edit: 2016-05-20 09:15:35 |

Wolseley Hornet, I think, the model that came after the radiator changed shape, but before the body acquired the little boot bustle, which would match the 1932 number plate. Only the first three are similar, and cars four and five are too far away for my I-pad (other tablets are available, I use atenolol, ramipril and amlodipine as well) to give a clear enough image. Interesting that the Morris and the Wolseley share different versions of the same engine, the Morris being flathead, but the superior Wolseley being blessed with an upstairs camshaft. Looks like a convention of bank managers, salesmen on the road in 1932 would be lucky to get a side valve Morris Minor, let alone something as upmarket as a Hornet. -- Last edit: 2016-05-20 09:36:14 |
