It seems too small and too rounded for a Morris 10/4. I think it might be a Singer Nine. |

Further research: it's a Singer Nine Bantam, 1936+. http://www.motorbase.com/uploads/2004/03/31/tn_dscf0008.jpg Link to "www.motorbase.com" |

Link to "uk.msnusers.com" ... and just to be sure, here's a four-door. I can't be sure of the wheels, but the Easicleans shown in the brochure were an optional extra anyway. If confirmed this was the first Bantam on the site - the other one I identified later than last August! -- Last edit: 2008-02-05 17:02:06 |

From the details seen I would agree... yes, a Bantam 4-Door. |

Well, sorry chaps but I dont agree with any of you! I believe this to ba a Lanchester 11, later known as the 'Roadrider'. It seems to me that the rear body panel is modestly 'outswept' and the spare wheel is carried under a metal cover. This would be a 1936-7 model. The radiator is clearly 'pushed forward' beyond the front axle and the wheelbase seems more than 8 feet long- larger than the Singer Bantam. Mulliners made the body, which was coachbuilt. It was more economic to fit a fabric roof than a metal one- requiring expensive press tooling- for cars like this one that were only made in modest numbers. The fabric rear roof quarters can clearly be seen. The car in the foreground is a Rover Sports Saloon and the one behind the Lanchester is one of the smaller Humbers, maybe an 18. -- Last edit: 2010-03-15 14:48:51 |

Hi Skilleter, yes you are quite right it is a Lanchester Eleven ,but the Eleven was not "Later" known as the "Roadrider , this title applied to the Pre War Lanchester LA 14. The "Eleven's " produced circa 1938/39 did indeed have an all Steel roof ,but still retained the Fabric opening sliding roof. This is my 1937 "Eleven" (Click on pictures to enlarge.)
