From when they were "cheap" I would own either a Porsche 356 Speedster, an early open Ferrari or a Lamborghini Miura (or all three) if not for my dad yelling in my ear that open big Classics were a much better idea. I said in another thread how my dad talked me out of hundreds of stupid ideas, but this was the one where he probably wasn't right. Dads are like that — it’s are job! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 (edited) This photo is from TheOldMotor.com but I thought it was just too cool not to share. 90 Series Buick coupe towing a slick looking trailer. Check out those heavy-duty wheels on the Buick and the extra-wide rear fenders! Edited June 7, 2021 by Matt Harwood (see edit history) 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintman Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 (edited) Picture below is indeed a British Bullnose Morris. Brainchild of William Morris and introduced in 1913 as the Morris Oxford. It was made up from bought-in components. It was called a ‘ Bullnose’ not because of any resemblance to a ‘bull’ but because it had a rounded nose like a ‘bullet’. Small car with 1018 cc four-cylinder side-valve engine from White & Poppe. On this photo registration is not visible so is no help with dating. However, strong identification features is the ’three light set’ (two headlamps and the rear lamp), with the with small headlamps being mounted on the wings. As this configuration was manufactured for only two years, (1922/23) we can safely say that this was Oxford’s bigger and more expensive brother, a cca 1923 Morris Continental Cowley Bullnose Tourer. The Cowley was introduced in 1915 as a four-seater powered by a Continental engine and made up of largely American components. However, war intervened, and many Continental engines ended up at the bottom of the Atlantic. To compounds problems for Morris, Continental then discontinued the engine. After the war in 1919 the British branch of Hotchkiss made a copy of the Continental engine for Morris, who eventually bought the British Hotchkiss Factory and carried on making this engine to 1926. The Cowley transfigured many times until 1960 Vintman (UK) www.svvs.org Edited June 7, 2021 by Vintman (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plymouthcranbrook Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 (edited) This was the first motor vehicle from the Sunbeam Motor Company, produced in 1899. Designed by Mabley-Smith, it's a curious vehicle, with wheels laid out on a diamond pattern with only the front and rear wheels sprung. Engine was a watercooled 327 cc engine from DeDion. The vehicle could seat 2 or 3 people with the driver in the rear. Edited June 8, 2021 by plymouthcranbrook (see edit history) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
