I don't recognise it, but could it be a LLoyd from Lincolnshire?
No, not one of those.
Kendall of Grantham, which one associates with a Gregoire design like the Dyna Panhard, also made a prototype with a three-cylinder rear-mounted radial engine.
As I've never seen a photo of one, I can't say more than perhaps that's what this one is.
Indeed it is - in this case, the radial engine proved to be a mess, and fired engineer Horace Beaumont's boondoggle was swapped out for a VW engine secured from Germany after the Brits took over the plant.
Nicely done!
The only clue was the Lincolnshire (Kesteven) letters on the trade plate!
I fully expected this one to take much longer, as I found it in a book, and couldn't readily find it online. The other cars from this start-up are relatively easy to find online.
A good memory and deductive reasoning trump the internet, once again! :D
You can buy a page from a US magazine with a couple of photos and a smidgen of text on eBay:
Hey - how about that! I never thought to search e-bay.
You, sir, move to the head of the class. :grad:
