Mystery car is a Wolseley chassis clothed in a Boyd Carpenter body - circa 1930 One of the few chassis other than Austins that B.C. produced.

This is one of the four variants of bodywork fitted by Francis Boyd-Carpenter to the Wolseley Hornet chassis in 1930/31. In addition to the open two-seater shown here, and a four-seater tourer, there were also two closed versions -- a Sunshine Coupe with a similar pointed tail and a four-seater coupe with a stubby tail. Boyd-Carpenter's premises at this time were at 47 West End Lane, Kilburn, London NW6 -- presumably the building shown in the background of Plate 8954. See The Autocar, 5th December 1930. R.M.S.
