More of these pretty cars seem to be coming to light,  and this is the third that I have featured on this website. There are differences between all three cars so it is interesting to compare them:

Here is the car previously owned by Nick Thorne, I believe this has now been exported to the continent: http://www.standardmotorclub.org.uk//cars/coachbuilders/features/avon1935-feature.htm

And this is George Soans's car that he has recently restored in India: http://www.standardmotorclub.org.uk//cars/coachbuilders/features/10-12avoncompleted.htm
