From Ewan Cameron.....who's shop is across town in Malvern,Emgland from Morgan cars.

 

Merry Christmas to all that follow this thread. And to Banjeaux Bob who provides us with entertainment all year a BIG thank you.

 

For Sure!

 

And they can built a brand new vintage 3 wheeler too.

 

Merry Christmas to you all as well. Thanks Doug! Have a blessed day!

 

Not my vehicle but from the same vintage as these cyclecars and cute as a button. I couldn't seem to download the associated pics...

here you go BANJERS!Argo (automobile) - Wikipedia

 

1921 Amilcar skiff

 

And you could use this as a service truck when you go racing...

 

This reminds me of my favorite series of Harley images....

 

Now that's what I love!!
The Harley shots were great too. Do I see snow chains on the rear wheel?

 

Yes, you do Fred!

The EMPY Special

 

Nice car; first I've sen of that one.
The whit car next to it looks like an AC coupe??!! A friend here has one

 

The white car looks more like a 3½-Litre Bentley to me? At least the "Flying B" mascot suggests that?

Your friend's car seems to be a mid-'30s AC Six. The interesting thing about it is that its 2-litre OHC six was in production, in various states of tune, from 1922 to 1963, and was reasonably competitive right up to the end:

Montier built with Ford chassis and Montier Engine. I know we shy away from calling Austin Senes and Bugatti Brescias cyclecars....however this one is somewhat special....and if it weren't for the FORD script you would never know.Montier Model A Ford (velocetoday.com)

 

I really need to get Chris Martin's book.

 

Chris's book is well worth acquiring. Apart from a small pamphlet publication a few years back i would imagine its the only book on the topic. I have been building my own version of a Montier T roadster for 10 years or more - sadly it keeps getting sidelined as other builds take my interest.

1928 Morgan Aero 2 Speeder JAP. We are very proud to be able to offer this wonderful car to market, it has been in the same family ownership since 1959, yes that's over sixty years of care and attention from possibly one of the most knowledgeable of all Morgan owners. It has an 1100cc Water Cooled Dog eared JAP engine that is in beautiful running condition, the body retains its original Ash and steel body panels along with all of the original chassis, bevel box and running gear. They really do not come much more correct and usable than this one. Priced at £45,000 with this history and fantastic patina, its hard to beat. Export no problem.

Another lovely Morgan available exclusively from us. 1932 Morgan Aero JAP.

Wow. The '28 Aero has always be a favorite of Morganeers. Such a lovely style body.
That body was replaced in '33? by the Sports 2 seater as shown in my avatar.

 

April of 1931 Monthery

 

Is the Morgan passing or being passed?

 

Looks like the Sandford is out front.
