Re: Squire's voitures

I won some rare chrome on eBay for the Humber (don't actually need it but was reasonably priced and they don't grow on trees). I messaged the 81 year old vendor about arranging collection and he replied: no problem no hurry north London EN4 8UY A FAIR WAY FROM NORFOLK (phone no.) ANY TIME PRIOR TO M...

Re: Found pics

Now that is interesting. It would have started off as a 'limousine' from the factory (just the nomenclature for a dividing partition), then stretched elsewhere with estate car doors and that rear light, which I agree looks FX4. Never seen nor heard of one. With your consent I could send your pic int...

There is a chap on AS who has a 3 wheeler of similar vintage in good condition, owned long-term, don't know if he posts on here and can't recall his forum name.

Re: EBay Finds

That was the car that finished Rootes. Were it not for a massive incentive from the Govt. it would not have been built, but even with the cash injection the Imp proved too much of a financial burden for a firm which relied almost entirely on family capital.
