What car is this ?
Spotted this along Darling Street, Balmain when I went for a walk down the street with a friend of mine.
A strange looking one...
:P

Well, Its got ME Stumped...
I haven't a clue what it is...
Its NOT a Vauxhall...
I would say its ENGLISH...

What did the grill badge say??
Steel wheels were cheaper than wire wheels I believe.. and much better....
Never seen anything like it...

I dont think it is british, the british were heavily into overchroming with the front grille. I think it may be european, and about 1925-1935 period.
Austins had wire spoked wheels and this car has thick steel spokes.

I dont think its a topolino - too big. I think perhaps an early rover, like P2 / P3 sort of age.

You guys need to have a look at the cars grille, its nothing i have ever seen before. I had a look at old car website that i know and most cars back
then had rather oval looking grilles. I give you guys the website so u can have a look for yourselves. But the grille looks very mercedes to me, but
the car aint a mercedes. Isnt a rover. The Fiat is much smaller than that thing but had wider guards under the tyres. I wonder if it is just some guy
has built his own body to confuse us all.
Here is the website by the way. www.about-autos.com

For those interested had a look in my car reference library,
small as it is .
The car is not a Fiat Topilano. The Grill is wrong and the boot section is longer than the Fiat. The Fiat had a sloping back not like photo which
seems to have provision for a Dickie seat.
Will keep searching, Hate these trivia games. I am more inclinded to think British like Austin or Early Anglia or Grills very similiar to the old
prefect
catch you soon,
bob

Back again, Reference book The world guide to automobiles.
The car is a SIMCA Six, made from 1936 to 1949. Put in a nutshell a fellow by the name of Henri-Theodore PIGOZZI took over from Ernest Lost as the
French Fiat importer and thus founded simca as he had the license to build the Fiat 6 CV under licence for the French Market. So steve 1302 you are
close the The Fiat 6 CV was bigger version of the Topolino thus the boot and bonnet extended . Fiat Topolino was only 569CC and carry only 2 persons.
Hope this useless trivia is use. From the picture the car would be pre WW2 1935 to 1938. The 1949 Simca 6 had a different grill that is like the post
was chevs etc and the headlights in the front guards.
catch you soon,
bob
