Scottish 6 Day Trial start - Box saloon picture - austin - 10-01-2022
Just came across this while I was looking through the LAT photos I never got round to posting.
Thought it was rather a good picture.
Start of the Scottish 6 Day Trial - Alexander’s Garage in Edinburgh on Sunday May 17th 1931.
Reg on the shiny saloon is GG 3194.

looking at the difference between scuttle and bonnet finishes may suggest it is a fabric saloon?

I think the waist-moulding and colour scheme make it a steel saloon (RL).

looking at the joint between the scuttle and windscreen area, I would agree with you.

Having enlarged the image, I think I'll agree with you

Could the Austin possibly be the works trials fabric saloon?

I don't think so, GG is a Glasgow registration.
