Is the body more recent than the chassis?

I'm trying to picture that radiator shell with different badges on it. Alvis?

Sheffield-Simplex - or is that too obscure?
Title: Re: Wendax 757

Better known than Sheffield-Simplex, less known than MG

Is it something that's more mundane? Rover?

The chassis and wheels look 20s, but the body style looks 30s. Is it a re-bodied Morris Oxford?
Title: Re: Wendax 757
Post by: Wendax on January 08, 2013, 10:25:06 AM
I think that it is a rebodied 1920s car, but it isn't a Morris.

Perhaps this is a rebodied Bond (F.W. Bond of Brighouse, Yorks) c.1927?
Title: Re: Wendax 757
Post by: Wendax on January 08, 2013, 01:24:12 PM
No, the marque is less obscure

An early Lagonda?
Title: Re: Wendax 757
Post by: Wendax on January 08, 2013, 02:09:49 PM

Yes, locked for you to find the model.

Post by: Ehhxekt on January 08, 2013, 03:02:32 PM
7/17?
Title: Re: Wendax 757
Post by: Wendax on January 08, 2013, 05:07:45 PM
Yes, it's a 1926 Jowett 7/17. It was rebodied in the 1930s or 1940s. I have a coachbuilder's name. Locked for you to find it out.
Title: Re: Wendax 757
Post by: Ehhxekt on January 09, 2013, 04:48:14 PM
I found a source that tells us that the body is made by E. D. Abbott of Farnham. What is a bit confusing is that they refer to Abbott as a well-known Scottish coachbuilder...
Title: Re: Wendax 757
Post by: Wendax on January 10, 2013, 01:11:17 AM
Yes, that is the same information I have. I'm not sure myself how trustworthy this is.
Anyway, the point is yours.
