The horizontal louvres suggest very early Rolls 20 but the rest of it looks very Austin-like, especially as it looks to be on Sankey wheels. But maybe a similar Rolls 20? - http://20-ghost.org/library/static/media/52a1db2f0e492.jpg |

Looks strange for a RR to have bumpers like that?? |

I guess it is possible it is an Essex. I presume these were sold in UK? The body would have to be English though. The US body did not have a vertical windshield. The date would have to be late 1926 only as the 1927 cars went to a more rounded top radiator and the earlier ones had a painted radiator. It was not common to have a bumper on a US car in England. -- Last edit: 2016-10-08 20:43:06 |

Hudson-Essex Motors of Gt. Britain was formed in 1922; I guess selling complete imported cars. By 1927 complete UK built chassis were produced in their newly built Great West Road, London factory, complete bodies were imported from the USA. edit: Parts supplied from the Hudson factory in Canada as duty free.

The body on this one is not USA Essex so we look elsewhere for clues to identity. That front bumper with the slightly raised centre on the top bar is typical 1929 Chrysler but I guess the bumper could have been added at anytime. -- Last edit: 2016-10-08 23:31:47 |
