Austin Outside Buckingham Palace - Colin Morgan - 20-10-2024
I came across this picture recently - presumably others have seen it before?

Looking at the "larger headlights" mounted on the front wings instead of the radiator, I think this is a late production Gordon England Cup. That is late 1928 to March 1929.

The picture is on the Gordon England Register website. PK-5421 is a Surrey registration, issued between May 1928 and May 1929.
I thought it looked familiar and then realised it's the image used on the genealogy website Find My Past when there is a problem.

That is correct - along with the single piece windscreen, more akin to the Stadium one.
A lot of these late Cups appear to have reached the Export market, perhaps a last ditch attempt to save the company?
