Any idea what this Is?

Photo taken outside local pub circa 1920 according to note on the back.

The radiator has something of a Vauxhall about it. Perhaps a 20-60?

Is it the Red Lion? smile

Not sure about it being a Vauxhall. It should have flutes down each side of the bonnet and into the radiator shell.

The solid wheels and the radiator shell have the look of a Citroen of that era.

Too rounded radiator top for a Morris Cowley?

Looks like The Anthill Mob might have popped in for a quick pint during one of their Wacky Races. That could well be Dick Dastardly on the right.

Think you might be right.

This is a 1927 Slough-built 12/24 (B14 in France)


Bare chassis were supplied for coachbuilders.

That Citroen is a good call -- on reflection I am pretty sure I was wrong to suggest it might be a Vauxhall.

What could be bonnet-side flutes is just a trick of the light, I suspect.
