Bryan Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Could anyone please help in identifying the two vintage, or Edwardian, cars shown below? Both taken at last weekend's Great North Steam Fair at Beamish Museum, NE England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDoug Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Does blowing up the hood ornament / car bonnet mascot give a clue? http://www.pinterest.com/veltathomas/hood-ornaments-vintage/ https://www.flickr.com/groups/1042548@N25/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dov makabaw Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 It would be helpful if you could give the registration number. Can't quite read it. dov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dov makabaw Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I think that the truck is a 1939 Albion petrol tipper dov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDoug Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 The grille shape of the green car looks like something from Humber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted April 18, 2014 Author Share Posted April 18, 2014 Thanks for the useful links etc, the registration of the green car is NA 557. I can't find the radiator badge in those collections of shots unfortunately. The bonnet ornament is an AA badge, and the radiator badge looks to be circular with a green background on which is what might be a gold Maltese cross with another symbol or lettering across it. Not enough pixels to really make it out. Edit - found it on Flickr https://www.flickr.com/photos/rossendalewadey/9334845961/ Crossley Brothers Royal Flying Corps 1914 20/25 RFC Staff Car I had previously searched for the reg without success, don't know why it came up this time! That one is solved, the little red number remains a problem! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dov makabaw Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 NA557 is a 1925 green Crossley tourer with 4576cc petrol engine. If you have the reg of the other car I will try to identify. dov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried searching for photos of it without success. I don't think it's a particularly saleable image, but having the correct information would help.
