Can any of you folks identify these? Aparrently, these were owned my members of my mums family before the war, but we've no idea what they are. I thought it might be a model A ford but I have my doubts now  Lagonda maybe?   |

First pic is a bit too vague for me to identify, but I'm pretty sure that the 2nd is an Austin 20. If you like, I can post them up on the VSCC forum, as they're the experts on cars of this age!

I've posted them up over there & will let you know what I hear back. I would link to the thread, but sadly their forum is club members only.

Sniper's dad would be rather interested in those, esp if they are local.

Part of things
Don't like stretched tyres, very low profile tyres & I think a car CAN be too low. Perhaps I'm odd.

Apparently, they were owned by my great great uncle George who owned a garage somewhere in Wales.
That's all I know, my mum asked me to find out.

Yeah, they're great.
The bus one was apparently taken in China.
I know practically nothing about this side of my family, it'd be nice to know some of the car history

First one has what looks like a Model A bumper on it but the radiator is a different shape?
Second one is almost Gumdrop, so that a mid 1920s Austin smells right to me. I'd guess even the salesmen couldn't keep track of all the different models around that time
