MV4007 at Sennen again

I had to concede to the fact that the Cretehill could have been out of view at Newlyn, so it appears this is in 1934.

You might well be right Treeve. If I m not mistaken (correct me if I m wrong) but the car looks like a Wolseley Fourteen. If it is it was manufactured in 1935 was a 6-cylinder beast with overhead cam 1600cc I believe

Oh by the way newlynmawe this is a superb picture thanks for sharing it with us

I believe it was worked out that the only car at the time with horizontal vents was the Standard; what I know of cars is possible to write on the back of a postage stamp, but all other cars at that time appeared to have vertical vents, from what I saw in pictures of such vehicles. Also, I think the badge on the nose appeared to be a Standard, as well as the hub caps. Have a look at the other picture ... it would be good if a hir-es scan could be done of those features just to be more certain.

Are you talking about the Ford A Standard if so this isn t the model on this picture. I must confess though on closer inspection I can see that this isn t the Wolseley fourteen either.... We need the help of 61Triumph

dingdongd suggested a Standard 9, and I did a search for that vehicle and found some old pics and some of restored vehicles, and it (to my eyes) looked a match, she was first around in 1934. Have a look at our exchange on the picture at Sennen beach.

I ve just Googled the Standard 9 and I agree it looks similar. Take a look at the rear of the car and you ll notice an extra quarter light window than the Standard 9 has making the car a little longer.

Standard Little 9 has extra rear quarter lights.

Standard Little Nine MK1, 1932, engine is 1005cc sidevalve and develops 22bhp. 3 speed gearbox (no synchromesh). Maximum speed about 50mph. Brakes are cable operated.
