Yes ! a Buckler from 1952 !
1 point for nicanary !

It's there on the Register. Clearly Dr.Lovejoy tried to save money on the bodywork by fitting it with whatever he could find at the junkyard.

(I was correct with my guess about the origins of the puzzle photo.)

Simon, the Registrar on the Buckler Registry, has very kindly sent me a bit more information about this car from his files:

Are we sure this is a Mk10? My Georgano encyclopedia has a picture captioned as a 1955 Buckler Mk10 not 1951. I think "Buckler Ford Ten" in the advert above means "Buckler powered by a Ford Ten engine"

The Buckler Register has it as a Mk10.

What mechanical components (engine/chassis) did this car use? A point if you know. A bonus point if you can prove who built it (I don't know)

Hillman Minx?

barrett · June 12, 2019, 10:39:55 AM

I guess the grille is from a Hillman, but not the rest of it

Ford Ten base?

barrett · June 13, 2019, 04:15:25 AM

It has a Ford 10 engine, yes. It has a different chassis, though. Locked for 24 hours to see if you can solve it

FrontMan · June 13, 2019, 09:25:24 AM

Buckler frame?

barrett · June 17, 2019, 12:02:24 PM

Yes, that's it. A Ford-engined Buckler, but I have no more information about it
