Phil Preston Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Wondered if any antique car enthusiasts might be able to identify the manufacturer and model of this car? http://c8.alamy.com/comp/E9TR7K/Antique-classic-car-Lincoln-Lincolnshire-England-UK-E9TR7K.jpg Not sure how to display the image in this post, so if link does not work, the image ID is E9TR7K Thanks, Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dustydingo Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Click the little "image" icon in the toolbar above the field where you write your post (hold cursor above each icon and you'll get its description). Then just paste the url of the image (the same url you used in your post above) into the image field that appears on your screen. Still don't know what the car is though--I thought at first a Model A Ford, but it's not . . . dd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TokyoM1ke Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Can we have a zoom of the badge on the radiator please? Actually if you have the number plate you can put it through the London congestion charge (CC) web site and it will give you the type and model. Useful little trick for the UK. Sorry if grandmother and eggs but it is a "vintage" car (pre-WW2 but post Vetran... i.e. post 1904 I think) Last edit: you can drag the image from the "buyer's screen" into the edit box.

Sue Norwood Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 It's an Austin, probably from the 1920s, maybe a 12?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacecadet Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 TL48. Blue Austin unknown model, sorry. I don't think it's TL45, that's a silver Mercedes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustydingo Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 It's an Austin, probably from the 1920s, maybe a 12?? Yes, I think that's it. Try 1928 Austin 12/4. dd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustydingo Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Here is the exact vehicle :-) http://www.lvvs.org.uk/tl48.htm It turns out it's a 1928 Austin 12 'Clifton' Open Tourer dd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Clarke Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 If it's TL48 then it's a 1928 Austin Open Tourer - attached link may help: http://www.lvvs.org.uk/tl48.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TokyoM1ke Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 I immediately thought Austin as well but they normally have "Austin" on the radiator in a script type font. Must be the newer ones that do... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The car registration on my photo is partly hidden, but it looks very like the TL 48 displayed on the link version. Thanks to everyone for their help with this.

spacecadet Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 It's not been far in its life, has it? Sleaford to Lincoln in 86 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Preston Posted November 8, 2014 Author Share Posted November 8, 2014 It's not been far in its life, has it? Sleaford to Lincoln in 86 years. I am impressed with all the ways you guys have for finding things out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 NO problem. That was on the LVVS website. Googling the number plate of a classic car often brings it up. That's how I find them. In your case the last number could only be 3,5,6 or 8. Presumably you know that street is Bailgate, with the Newport Arch in the background.

spacecadet Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Stick it in the keywords. You never know what soneone's after. The car is on the right-hand side in the layby about 50 yards from the Arch here https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=bailgate+lincoln&ie=UTF-8&output=classic&dg=oo I happened to recognise it from a family do a while back. I obviously didn't drink enough that night if I can remember where I was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
