Archive Photos of a 1924 SLO4 Warwick
Delightful photo of the SLO4 out on a picnic. Two of the family prefer to eat inside the car!
These
photos have been sent to me by Adrian Norman who asked what the car is,
the year, specification and where the car was made.
I was able to tell him the Car is from 1924 and registered sometime after April, according to the registration number. It is a Standard Model SLO4 with a Warwick body. The car was made, like all Standards post 1918 at the Canley works, Coventry. You will note that the car is also fitted with "balloon" tyres. Len Barr tells me that these were an option when new. However, you might also spot on one of the photos that the front tyres are fitted with the "Chevrons" facing in opposite directions. This is clearly not right, so the car should have been returned to the tyre fitter. Its clearly too late now! If you think you know which way the chevrons should be facing, I will be pleased to hear your opinion. Please write to webmaster Here are 3 more photos, just click on them to see the enlargements:

writes back: Thanks
for your prompt, helpful and enthusiastic response which I am sharing
with my older brother, Peter, custodian of the family album from which
the four photos were scanned by my wife Kate, and The
supporting cast around the heroine TP 207 comprises Alfred, aged 70, his
wife Fanny, a few years younger, and perhaps his oldest daughter,
Frances, 45, and Henry Thackwray, her husband. The last two would have
been visiting Adrian Norman Phil Homer (April 2010) |
