Should have been two but I was one letter out.

Two.

At last a car that’s not a thousand years old.

[SydneyBridge]

First I have known for weeks...

[r1ch]

In 1 today for a change. Someone a few doors up from me has just bought one in a similar colour.

[SJfW]

In one, but technically 4.

Got it in one, talked myself out of it being that so never guessed, pic 4, turns out I was right in the first place.

Too new.
You surely must have heard of it though.
Curiously others here that can identify pre war cars are getting this in 2.

[CanAm]

A two for me today too.

And here's yesterday's car, which isn't all that it seems. It was actually a 'special', built from a wreck. The 1935
Singer Nine Le Mans Savoye Special

[looksfast]

In four but would have been two if I hadn't got the second letter wrong...

I know, "if my Granny had wheels..."

I'm not very good on pre-war production cars, but I have got one or two in the last year or so, and I got today's car in 2 (I'm not good enough to get a 1)

When I first got interested in cars as a teenager in the 60's there was no internet (no st Sherlock) so libraries were our source of information. Luckily the William Brown and Technical Libraries in Liverpool were a fantastic source of information and I devoured everything they had on cars from the 1890s onwards. 'The Grand Prix Car' by Laurence Pomeroy probably spent more time with me than on the shelves. Being a subscriber to Motor Sport over the years (when it featured an extensive Vintage, Edwardian and Veteran section and wasn't just an advertorial for expensive wristwatches) probably helped.

So I've been exposed to cars from all eras, even the current one, not just those in my (long) lifetime.

You are absolutely fine and have always given me the impression of being quite genuine.
