No other views - this clip is separate from any of the other traffic sequences. Split rear window looks unusual. |

Folding windscreen mounting, door cut-out and 'trafficator' location have similarities with a Singer Nine Sports or Roadster. However no searches so far have found a similar fabric hood or the panel join seen near the driver's arm. |

For future referance... Split rear window looks to be a result of a convertible support 'hoop' passing through the centre, possibly associated with either the same vehicle or body manufacturer as here. (Obviously not the same car.) ![[Image: splitrearwindow.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/558/splitrearwindow.jpg) |

What is this?? For some inexplicable reason I looked at it and wondered if it was an AC - no idea why. I then started looking for pre-war AC pics and found some 16/80s - Link to "www.ruotevecchie.org" , http://www.collectorcarads.com/AC-16/80/58939 etc. Not the same windscreen shape (squared top corners instead of rounded on our car), but some strong similarities for the attachments on the frame, the door cut-out and the panel line for the door back edge. So not a 16/80, but maybe a different (smaller??) 1930s AC??? |

There wasn’t a smaller car made by AC in the thirties, the 1991cc overhead camshaft straight six was the only power unit on offer. There is a picture of a 1938 Lea-Francis 12 Tourer on the interweb, (which won’t open) and on page 114 of Sedgwick and Gillies (same car FGJ 800) showing a hood with a similar style of window. The transparent materials available to hood manufacturers in the 1930s were either flexible or durable, but not both, so little windows of this sort were more generally found than you may realise. BTW, my personal view is that the subject car is a 1936 Talbot Ten Sports Tourer, for what it’s worth. https://online.handh.co.uk/m/lot-details/index/catalog/87/lot/40984/ -- Last edit: 2019-05-05 20:49:04 |
