1929 Fabric bodied saloonThis car belonged to my grandfather from 1930 to about 1935. He was an engineer working in open cast iron ore mining in Northamptonshire, England and the machine in the picture is one they used at that time. The car had magneto ignition & was used to travel to the various mines operated by the South Durham Steel & Iron Company in the Northamptonshire area. It was succeeded by a succession of Fords until he bought an Austin A40 in 1963.
