RE: Friends' Gallery Picture of the Month - February 2021 - Mike Costigan - 02-02-2021 I would suggest the likely colours of this car were Cream body with Light Green wings, Pale Blue body with Mid-Blue wings, or Beige body with Brown wings, but basically any pair of Smarties colours you like! ![]() ![]() ![]() RE: Friends' Gallery Picture of the Month - February 2021 - John Mason - 02-02-2021 Mike I stand corrected about the number plate I now realise that a similar style plate on my Early Ruby is most probably original. John Mason. RE: Friends' Gallery Picture of the Month - February 2021 - Martin Prior - 02-02-2021 Tony P. Yes, the Ruby wheels don't do it any favours! I've collected a set of closed centre 19" wheels, which are due to be sent away for refurbishing later this week. Meanwhile. we have a '38 Ruby with no wheels......do I feel a deal coming on?

If I had to pick a colour scheme from those standard finishes, I would suggest our car was Sky Blue/Danish Blue, something like this: ![]() ![]() RE: Friends' Gallery Picture of the Month - February 2021 - JonE - 02-02-2021 would be nice to see a cream and violet car! RE: Friends' Gallery Picture of the Month - February 2021 - Ruairidh Dunford - 02-02-2021 Our own Swallow is a 1932 Mk2 Two Seater Sports - from the remains of paint on it, the body appears to have been a very dark blue and pale blue. RE: Friends' Gallery Picture of the Month - February 2021 - Mike Costigan - 02-02-2021 Just for you, Jon: ![]() RE: Friends' Gallery Picture of the Month - February 2021 - gord - 02-02-2021 Hi Mike: Can you use this for your archives? I don't know the history as it came from an estate here in B.C. Gord ![]() RE: Friends' Gallery Picture of the Month - February 2021 - andrew34ruby - 02-02-2021 The month's picture on page one is a lovely Swallow, but would you take a photo while these people are all, erm, not looking their best? I think they are all looking for the sixpence that someone dropped in the car. I think it was the summer of 1979, walking past a house in the Lake District I spotted this 1930 Swallow. So daughter and I just walked up someones drive and took this photo, then a swift exit. Looks like another number plate that wouldn't fit between the false spring covers. OU 5833, I see it is still taxed! Daughter looks a bit older these days. |
