Help identifying vintage radiator grill.
Received this as one of my presents, but I can't identify what car it's from.
Anyone out there know? http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/a...t/Radiator.jpg |

Easy: Austin A40
My grandad had one :D Also had a A35 which he'd thrash around...you've never done 80mph until you've done 80mph in one of these :lol1: :eek: |
Thanks guys
Could also be from an A70 Hereford..................... |
When I said I wanted a grill for Christmas I meant a George Forman Grill.:(

Definately Austin, nice present:thumb:

I'd say it's actually a Somerset, like this one, 1952 vintage. The Devon has a split grille..

WOW excellent gift!
What would you do with it, though? :confused: I mean, if you are to use it for what it is, you have to have a car for it. It won't look good on a scoobeh, would it. I would personally hang it on the wall in my living room; as a show piece. :cool: |
It won't be going on a car and definitely not on my Scooby.
It will be displayed somehow but is currently sitting in the fireplace looking like a cool fireguard. |
