Standard, Triumph & related car companies

Front row, sixth from left, is Reginald Walter Maudslay

Cliff and I debated over Maudslay being the elderly one in the hat within the collection though then Cliff pointed out Maudslay died in 1934 and there was a Standard Triumph logo in the background (which would mean circa 1945ish.) There's not much detail to go on for Much Park Street, Cliff but would be interesting to confirm. As mentioned they were not there long.

March 1903, for just under three years, Neil

If anyone is interested in bidding, remember to sign up well in advance and be aware of the additional costs of the auction house and Saleroom online. A phone bid would be cheaper. Everything I've bid on went for far more money than I was prepared to pay, plus collection would be a pain. Other things I've wanted but thought were too expensive turned up on Ebay. As for where the photo was taken - I've no idea.

That's clearly the same building. Could it be the former Dawson Works on Clay Lane?

For those interested, lot 628 went for £90

One for MR 1931-1932

Did you buy then scrutiny Too steep for me I'm afraid but would love to see them on here if anyone did?!

Thank you, kind sir

Mrs Rudge = Works managers wife Miss Rudge = Daughter cannot read who the lad is. 1907 There is a lot of info on the back of photo but cannot make it out, part of it, 1907-8 Standard fitted with 2est body?

The first Standard car, 6 were made. 1903. Single cylinder, 3 speed box, shaft drive, pneumatic tyres, side entrance to car compartment. Car in pic not complete, mudguards, running boards? Were added before it was sold.

Terrific scrutiny

Brilliant scrutiny, good info too! Can't quite make up my mind, is that a reverse image of the doors in the photo at the bottom of post 171 (I mean, where it was taken, 1903, would be at MPS)

Sorry moriarty, same pic same way round. All the info is on the back of the photo.

A rare image of an early trade plate, identified by the suffix letter M. The plate would have been red, still used today for trade plates.
