A one and a half litre HRG?? screen looks different to the one I know but worth a shot Unfortunately no, Dr.S. As a clue, not sure whether these were a standard fitment but there are a few Singer and Ford (3.3ltr) engined versions around.

Nope, you could buy these in the 1930's, however numbers were limited. By it's name, it suggests that there could be a racing history. I'll check this evening after the paperwork and the BBQ.

is it an early Weber that worked of compressed burning briquette fumes i see to remember seeing one years ago at Beaulieu had a marvelous turn of speed especially with a hot sauce up it's pipe. Aaw, Peter. You have more imagination than that. Afterall, look under that cover on your drive BTW, hows the arm mending?

1914 Sentinel Standard Steam Wagon.
In preservation not far from me.
1. Correct, What's particularly special about it though? 2. Are you sure?

Lorry, you were so close, a bit more research you would have hit it on the nail. Firefly, You got the right angle there mate. So Mr. Z, have you as the font of all knowledge of classic vehicles got it yet?' Read the clues, part of the answer is in the first clue. As an aside, 'racing' was not part of the question or a direct clue although the photo was taken at Brooklands. So I think your recent remark was unfounded. Combine all the clues, you should at least get near.

Its the badge that puts me off. It looks like an MG, but no Octagon badge or axle fairing thing, and its classy.
Must be an Aston then
