Might be a Lagonda - compare this green one at Brooklands in 2017 (scroll down a bit) - general shape, driver side cut-out and no obvious door, spare wheel, exhaust, headlights on stalks, dashboard. EM 2565 is apparently a 1931 Lagonda 2 litre Speed. Some of them had big disc brakes ![[Image: lagonda201930202litre-3.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/24/lagonda201930202litre-3.jpg) At this point, my divine powers are exhausted, so I pass the baton on to the proper experts .... |

The disc brake was invented, like many other things, by Fred. Lanchester, in this case in 1902, but not developed for general use until the 1940s. What you see there are large diameter drum brakes, necessary to radiate the heat developed in reducing the kinetic energy of the heavy vehicle. The first European car with disc brakes was the 1952 C-type Jaguar. The 1940s Chrysler Imperial was an early adopter. https://www.flickr.com/photos/39860650@N02/40224873793 Lagonda 2-litre Low Chassis Speed Model, EM2565 The Weymann-type body looks similar, but the front wings (please not fenders, they are found in front of the firegrate) are not cycle type. -- Last edit: 2024-08-18 09:03:51 |

Some years ago I read a magazine about a Sunbeam that Malcolm Campbell drove as a company car. That did look rather similar. However, the dashboard convinced me this is indeed a Lagonda, but not a 2 litre Speed. This 1929 3 litre https://www.flickr.com/photos/28439790@N03/14708807693 (registration number UW6690) is as close a match I can find. |
