edinmass Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 (edited) It’s probably post war, as the tires on the ground look new. Those would not have been available for the car from 1940 to 1946. I think the Greyhound adds a touch of class...........🥸 Edited May 10, 2021 by edinmass (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 8 radiator cap distinguishes it from a 1930 model. Since I have become the owner of a car with a golf bag door I been noticing the shapes and method of opening of various cars with them. There is quite a variety. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Jennison minding the route cards. Mrs Jennison liked her fast motorcycles, the family was all involved. She held a record of 70 mph on a 200cc Velocette in 1922. About the Brough, she said "It's not a beginner's motorcycle, the motor is a big lump of joy. If it doesn't break your neck it will break your heart." Also, (and I know this audience might disagree about this statement on motorcycling in general), she said, "Even though you might be wet-through at the end of the day, there are feelings of well-being that just can't be duplicated by crocheting." OK, I'll stop now. Pic #3 - looks to be a Smiths Auto Wheel. The AT registration is Kingston-upon-Hull. From the look of the grumpy spectators the date is probably just pre WW1. Pic #4 looks like a stretched Purvis Eureka. Pic #5 - the bike was registered in the Reading, UK, area in 1952. Not much clue to the identity of the bike, but it competing in a trial, a very popular type of event in the UK. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My search said Dawson City Canada (Yukon) Not sure about the team, but that's a 1914 Overland 79T followed by a Model T. The T's windshield appears to be the 1914 style, but the headlight looks to be all brass (1912) rather than black & brass. I sure would love one of those license plates!. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayne sheldon Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 (edited) 3 hours ago, plymouthcranbrook said: 7F79 I think is an early Chrysler. No front wheel brakes, so likely a Maxwell carryover model, about 1924 0r '25. It does have the 'trademark' Chrysler beads on the top of the fenders. With a beat up 1939 license plate, the car would need to be almost fifteen years old when the picture was taken! And underneath a car on a small base jack sitting on grass!? Scary.

hook Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 This guy could be a poster child for things not to do. Not only is he under a car held up by a jack that I don't like using to fix a flat with that is also sinking in the ground, He's smoking. All these cars of this vintage had updraft carburetors that leaked. Oh well at least he has someone with him to tell everyone who he was!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember my dad doing the same and myself leaning under car to talk to him . He was also a smoker and should have known better as was a REME 8th army mechanic during WW11, suppose the chances of being killed at al Alamein retrieving damaged tanks was much more than smoking near petrol . I remember he told me American Sherman tanks were best , mind you they used to retrieve German tanks too fix and rebadge them .
