Hello...

I have a photograph of my Grandfather and his sister sat on the running
board of a car circa 1930's +/- 5 years.

Trying to date the photo more accurately so I'd like to ID the car model and
dates of manufacture to try and narrow things down.
Does anyone know of any vintage car experts out there (or even here) that I
could send the photo for accurate identification?

I have searched the web for extensively and the nearest, from a couple of small pictures,
suggest it *might* be an 'Austin 20' - but I'd like to be certain.

Try sending the picture to this site, the might be able to help you.

I am sure there was another site run by one of the Daily Telegraphs
motoring staff but not been able to find it again.

the door handles gave it away :-)
but i still have reservations on the year because of the wheel studs?
your picture has a 4 studded wheel these al have 6 studs?

what do you think?

WOW that car is probably older than you thin
It is like many in those days but the wheels are odd.
I am not sure about the Austin and it does resemble some old
Fords.
Trying to see if i can match up the 'Fender' wing lights too

The Radiator cap is also short like a ford or a peere.

Any idea where the picture might have been taken? (area)
is if positively in the UK?
