Solved - MJW #040 - SU (Skinners Union) Coupe 1935

[woodinsight]

One point for the make, year and what engine it used

[Hezza]

Erm, the one and only Skinners Union? Don't know much else...

[woodinsight]

Well done - I thought this would be quite difficult to solve.
It is the only car built by SU - the carburettors manufacturer.
SU stands for Skinner Union.
However I also asked for the year and what engine it used so to be fair I'll lock it for you for 24 hours to come back with a reply.

[Hezza]

Sorry for not replying sooner. Hmm, I don't think I'm going to get this one... I really don't know the year and I'm guessing it has a Standard engine? That's not really an answer - I'm stumped!

[woodinsight]

Hezza, this I thought would be difficult even for the pros.
I have decided to award you with a point for naming the car.
Another point I'll add for who can tell me the year, what engine was employed and any other details relevant to this unique car.
I'll move it up to the experts now to see if they can complete the answer.

Guten appetit Allemano!

Have added what I hope is a better image of the SU (Skinner Union)
One point is still up for grabs - see above

[Allemano]

Thanks! I was about to post the same picture..

[woodinsight]

Aha!
Great minds think alike!

[Hezza]

Thanks for the point Woodinsight! And I'm really intrigued to learn more about this car...

[woodinsight]

Hezza identified the car but there is still a point available for the pros to complete the answer.

[Allemano]

The car originally had a supercharged Morris Minor engine.
Later on it had a straight eight Hudson engine with 4168cc.

[woodinsight]

That must be a record reply in the time stakes!
And the year?

[Allemano]

1935

[woodinsight]

Perfect!
Another point for you.
