Nothing mysterious about the car: its a Morgan. Look at the wheel under the tail, bent over in typical wooden-chassis style.

No.81 was J R S Whickham 1098cc Morgan. Strictly speaking this southern side of The Pass of the Cattle should be referred to as Tornapress. Applecross is on the other side, but contemporary reports often confused them.

First appearance of an American car in this series? Perhaps a Hupmobile, a Press or official car judging by the pennant on the bonnet. I doubt the Morgan had a wooden chassis!

No Morgan ever had a wooden chassis - lets get that clear. The bodywork is metal sheet over a wooden frame - as with most pre war cars. While we are at it Morgans were never sold as a kit though one or two were sold in chassis form for coachbuilding elsewhere. Thirdly, four wheeled Morgans are still made by the same Morgan firm.
