This looks like a promising place to try - I am trying to get a build date
for several photographs of vehicles. These have been contributed for
inclusion on a non commercial website. The site is built round the notes
made for my god son when he was building a train set, the cars are covered
in Appendix One, in a series of sub sections dealing with matters outside
the railway fence.

If anyone can date the cars shown it would be a big help - Also if anyone
has any photos of their own cars they could donate it would be appreciated.
I am currently a carer so cannot get to shows to take photos.

The cars in question are up at http://www.igg.org.uk/gansg/help/help.htm - I
have used trhe largest images I had to make identification easier, they will
take a few seconds to download however.

The index for the whole site is at http://www.igg.org.uk/gansg/ - The non
railway material is currently concentrated in Appendix One.


TIA

You can do it through the DVLA website. Just go to
http://www.vehiclelicence.gov.uk/Evl...SKIN=directgov
and follow "Vehicle enquiry". But since I am a) nice and b) bored ...

The "Morgan" looks more like a Morris Eight Series 1 to me.

The first is a Morris 8 tourer.

The third I think a Rover 110.

The message
from "Geoff Mackenzie" contains these words:

The "Morgan" looks more like a Morris Eight Series 1 to me.

Did they ever make that as an open car?

I thought initially a pre war Morris Minor but it doesn't appear to be that.

How about an Austin Nippy? ISTR that had doors with elbow cutouts unlike
the MM.

The Rover 12 took me back but I am a bit surprised by the attributed
date. My first car was a 1939 model and I thought it had been
significantly different to the mid 30s model.

Oh yes. And they're still quite plentiful as they are a relatively easy
restoration for this age of car. Here's a pic of a few.:-

The Minor was earlier - with a taller looking rad. Probably because the
OHC engine was taller than the later side valve.

Many thanks for the info and the patience - As you may gather this is an
area I know very little about.

The 2nd car. The blue saloon is a Morris 8 Series E.
First produced in 1938. Discontinued during the war. Manufacture was resumed
after the war from '46-'48.
