'CXY 758' (GXY less likely?) |

CXY 5/35 to 8/36. GXY 4/44 to 4/47. Presumably wartime registrations were much fewer, and therefore slower to work their way through the numbers. Flying Twelve 1936 Flying Light Twelve 1936 - 1940 Flying Fourteen 1937 - 1940. -- Last edit: 2019-11-03 18:52:15 |

Fourteen is discounted I think. Only the front passenger's handle is seen; no rear door handle at the B pillar therefore both doors are hinged at the B pillar. |

I wouldn’t argue. Also, compared against the man, the car is only of medium size. Esso Ethyl, National Benzole, Cleveland Discol, only Shell I think recognisable by people today, and no Dominion pump. Does it say 1/3 a quart for engine oil? I think it was about ten Bob a gallon for Servol 30, which my A50 Cambridge used to burn and leak in equal amounts. |

March 1936 (to October 1936 Flying Light Twelve) later just Flying Twelve [AL12S]. The earlier 'heavy' shared the Fourteen and Twenty body with differently hinged rear doors. |

Looking again at the vehicle, one now obvious feature has been missed, is that it has wide running boards that were on the 'heavy' models but discontinued on the Light Twelve and Ten mkI. The registration range for CXY 758 (May 1935 to August 1936) indicates the August 1935 to November 1936 Flying Heavy Twelve, Flying Sixteen or Flying Twenty all having the same body except for bonnet length. -- Last edit: 2020-09-21 12:04:37 |
