"My parents owned this car in the 1950s I have photos of it from which I can pretty much see the registration plate and certainly it looks like a 1926 3 litre model. I should love to be able to confirm its current whereabouts. It was a much loved car and I have a number of photos of it with the family. We lived in Birmingham when the car was sold."
