Stepping back a few decades, identify the marque, model, year and which company built it for a point.

Yes that's correct but not quite the end of the 1920s

Not that one.....
Year is 1927 but not built by Vulcan and I have the model as an x-Type....
OPEN again

Not a V-Type but the year is correct

1927 Lea-Francis K-type, looks like a fabric body, so Gordon England?

You're almost there......all correct except it's not a K-Type.
LOCKED for you to correct the model type

nicanary · January 15, 2013, 11:12:23 AM

J-Type?

J-Type?

No - you're going the wrong way!
Still locked for you

nicanary · January 15, 2013, 12:37:26 PM

L-Type? (They had an unnecessarily complicated model range back then - no wonder they had financial problems!)

No - you're just one click away!
I have to open it again if your next answer is incorrect......

nicanary · January 15, 2013, 12:59:18 PM

M-type!

Yes!
Another point added to your tally.....

A voice from the back row says that the J, K, L and M types shared the same chassis and therefore many of the body styles also. You usually can't guess what you are looking at without more information! Meadows engine size and type varied, only the L and M having the 4ED.
Not many G-E bodies were fitted, so I'd guess this one is chassis 10041
