Maybe an AC? |

My guess is a 1935+ BSA Scout. |

I agree with nzcarnerd .The double row of vertical inclined hood louvres separated in the middle , slightly inclined chromed grille grille and shape of standing lights are ca 1935 AC 2 litre Six Sport Tourer.BSA Scouts had different hood louvre patterns. |

Pilou, I read your comments as the last word in any debate here, but now I have to contradict: it seems to me that the radiator badge isn’t that of an AC. It looks more close to this one: http://static.zooomr.com/images/4259611_17abc2e12c.jpg I don’t see the difference in the hood side louvres, either… Link to "www.flickr.com" http://images.wheeler.nl/s1159530436/640518-24-2-2.jpg |

Admit I was wrong,I should have noticed that there are further hood louvres under the upper row as on the red car documented from Flickr , this is typical of BSA's.Concerning the badge it is very fuzzy but I thrust you have better eyes than mine |

The bar between and below the headlamps, the shape of the cutaway under the front mudguards, the thin front bumper, and the covered hole in the centre of the radiator grille suggest that this is a BSA Scout built between 1936 and 1938. |

It is a BSA Scout- the AC grill had a much heavier 'frame', dipped at centre top- and was a 'heavier' looking, much larger car. The Scout was front wheel drive and very hansom- but it only had a modest 10hp side valve engine and could barely exceed 60mph. You'd be lucky to reach 50 in much less than half a minute. It was as hansom as any MG but it was best not to try racing against one. At about £165 though is was very cheap- an MG Midget PB/ TA would have set you back about £220. |
