Identifying make of an old car? 1930's
« on: Saturday 02 January 16 20:59 GMT (UK) »
Put on a photo previously for restoration, shall post the link below in the hope you can view it....  Anyone hazard a guess as to what kind of car it is?? I've had a google but cant seem to find anything.  The photo was taken in Nairn around the early 1930's.   Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Looks like an Armstrong-Siddely Thirty 5-litre?

12hp 4seater Open Tourer?

"Armstrong Siddeley announced the 12 HP as a new lower priced model in October 1928 and the first full year of sales was in 1929."

Hi

I (now) agree with David that it could be a 14hp.

I'll go as far as suggesting that it is a Sandown.
Position of door handles, side screens (still fully in place on near-side) . . . . .
"The Sandown was the nearest the 14 HP got to having sporting credentials, with sloping doors and a slightly more raked steering column."
