Hey, you've started me off on a whole new hobby!!! Here's another one:

1914 Saxon Model A and 1930 Morris Cowley:

I agree - 4-door Morris Minor 1947-72, also fits van and pick-up.

I guess I am a couple of hours late, but that is definitely a Daimler from 1910-1911. The car doesn't look to be brand new, so my guess the photo dates from circa 1913-14. The registration plate is a UK number.

Hi Bernie, Yes, I have been an LC&ES member since the 'sixties; I am in Nottinghamshire - perhaps you'll be in the area sometime next year and you can have a look over the Saxon... and we can talk Rapiers, too, my father had a Rapier as our family car throughout the 1950s. My Saxon has the total loss oil system - no oil pump - but I don't trust the vacuum control system, so just turn the tap on and off every few miles! The oil supply is contained in this cylindrical tank on the side of the engine:

Hi Bernie, I think most of the oldclassiccar contributions are mine! I purchased my Saxon a couple of years ago, and have the car up and running, but have had problems with fuel supply (mostly!) caused by lack of use for the past forty years. It was sold to me as a runner, but since the throttle linkage was incomplete, and the tyres were old and crazed but had never been run, I think the vendor was a bit optimistic!!!!! Here is a photo from this last year:

That was my first reaction, but the windscreen frame looks more American than European, and I don't think the front bumper fits with the European idea, so it's back to the States, I think!

I am sure it won't be the earliest example, but the British-built Seabrook light car of 1923 had a large 'glove box' in the dashboard. I don't have a copy of the illustration, but it can be seen here (click on the second illustration): http://www.prewarcar.com/magazine/previous-features/where-is-volume-ii-of-the-scrapbook-or-historical-reference-020422.html
