RE: An Arrow? - AllAlloyCup - 01-11-2018 I like the machine turned alloy side panels. I bet that took some time? Bill G RE: An Arrow? - Colin Morgan - 01-11-2018 There is little to differentiate the YY 1420 car from the front but it looks a bit like the surviving Arrow BMH 862 (1934) that has similar twin wipers? In the photo, the radiator has a couple of small light marks half way down - might these be from where an Arrow badge was removed? Colin RE: An Arrow? - Timothy P - 01-11-2018 For reference here's a photo of a 1932 arrow sports foursome (an earlier car of the same model which Colin mentions) Yes wings look very similar, other than that and twin wipers, quite different. An interesting conundrum. RE: An Arrow? - Mike Costigan - 01-11-2018 This is a 1932 Arrow which I photographed in 1961 - very different wings!

From the photos I have, the wings of the 'Competition 65' especially are more similar to your photo, though most all the Foursomes I have found pictures of have the same or at least very similar wings to the photo I posted. The two seaters also show the bar between the wings as per your photo, which the foursomes I have photos of don't. Either way looking back at the photos again I'm not quite so sure the wings are a match for the arrow's anyway. RE: An Arrow? - Mike Costigan - 02-11-2018 It was a short-wheelbase 2-seater, claimed to be a 1930 car but the registration checks out as 1932. I did take a 3/4-rear photo too, but I can't find it now. RE: An Arrow? - Timothy P - 02-11-2018 Brilliant Mike, I assume then a Pre 'Competition 65' model? did it have the sloping tapered tail? Lovely. RE: An Arrow? - Hedd_Jones - 02-11-2018 (02-11-2018, 09:24 AM)Mike Costigan Wrote: It was a short-wheelbase 2-seater, claimed to be a 1930 car but the registration checks out as 1932. I did take a 3/4-rear photo too, but I can't find it now. Its got austin wings. Same as my Nov '30 RL Saloon and March '30 AE Tourer. For 1931 the wings changed to those seen commonly on RN & RP's RE: An Arrow? - Mike Costigan - 02-11-2018 (02-11-2018, 11:37 AM)Hedd_Jones Wrote:(02-11-2018, 09:24 AM)Mike Costigan Wrote: It was a short-wheelbase 2-seater, claimed to be a 1930 car but the registration checks out as 1932. I did take a 3/4-rear photo too, but I can't find it now. Not quite; the trailing edge of the front wings came to a point with no running boards, and the rears had a longer sweep to the trailing edge. I think it had the sloping, pointed tail, although the black and white one that was advertised recently was not quite how I remember it. Sadly it doesn't seem to have survived; it is neither on the Association register nor the DVLA site, and yet the owner at the time valued it highly. It was for sale for £50, which was the going price fora very smart Nippy; my brother offered him £35 (twice what he eventually paid for a running Opal) but was turned down. RE: An Arrow? - JonE - 02-11-2018 thinking of things like badges being possibly removed, don't you think the chap looks a bit later than 1932? i.e. that its not a new car? No sign of hood - almost like Burghley style flat top to body sides? Though obviously not one. |
