Messrs Godfrey and Proctor were not exactly manufacturers, and are you sure they built any cars in 1924? The dubious entry I downloaded lists Jane Tomlinson as no 167, the Godfrey Proctor Sports as "mod" from 1928. "Not a special, gov, absolutely original, just like the day it left the factory in Richmond, honest." Well it doesn't have a Cirrus engine in it. Maybe the car has been re-dated since last year, I think we should be told!
Correct Alan and Steve.
Yes it is a Godfrey and Proctor. 1924 is incorrect…..sorry. The car is most likely pre 1928 judging by a bacon slicer starter but that too could be a mod?
For those not in the know Godfrey (later of HRG fame) constructed about ten of these with his business partner Proctor. It has a GN chassis with Seven running gear.
