  • Vintage car spotter please!

    This picture was taken by my grandfather in East Africa in the 1920's when he worked on a cocoa plantation. Can anybody identify the model of car?

      Not one I recognise, and probably not built in Africa. It might be an Alvis. They used a triangular badge.

        I've just realised the windscreen is opened like a window! Did cars do that over here or was that just for Africa?

            My first car was a 1936 Morris 8 (with the spare wheel strapped on the back!) and it had levers at the bottom of the windscreen,secured by threaded nuts. It was possible to open the screen from the bottom to allow air to circulate. Unfortunately it was not completely rainproof and I had to seal it shut. As there was no heater in the car and the wooden floor had holes in it I hardly needed such ventilation anyway! I loved that old car though.
