Feature

It seems that
whenever I make an assertion that there are only 2 of a particular model, then
someone increases the population by 50%, by finding another example!
Well, it has happened again! I
have been sent a photograph of a third Avon on the 1937 Flying 16/20
chassis. This one turned up at the recent Tatton Park
event, where the Club appeared for the first time. You can read a report of this
interesting event elsewhere on the site, but in the meantime here, above, is the third
car. Again, this car is presently fitted with the much later Vanguard Six
engine.

The picture
above shows the only two
other known surviving cars with this bodywork, together
for the very first time! The two tone grey car at the rear,
which belongs to the Club's registrar, has a 16Hp six-cylinder
engine, but otherwise the specification is the same. I am indeed
very pleased to have a photograph of these two exceptionally rare and
handsome cars together.
So - thats all three
of them on one webpage now - unless YOU know of any more?
I am aware that there are other cars
and information that could be added to this site to make it more comprehensive, so if you
have material and photographs, please let me know. Please send me, Phil Homer, a
message at: Phil Homer
