DynaMike ◊ 2007-03-20 14:06	Couldn't this be a 1913 Newton Bennett tourer?

DynaMike ◊ 2007-03-20 16:00	I don't think this Newton Bennett (or the Vauxhall) are from 1921. Maybe there was a new license-system introduced in that year (after WWI), also producing new numbers for older cars?
Sunbar ◊ 2007-03-20 16:34	Maybe I tend to agree about the dates, but the first regisrations were a single letter followed by a number (as here) and date from 1903 in London. I will see if I can find anything more but its odd they were both 1921, possibly when first reliable national records were made. -- Last edit: 2007-03-20 16:35:00
