c.1911 Alldays & Onions 30/35hp
Letters to the editor
Good afternoon,
I have attached some photographs of a restoration of a c.1911 Alldays & Onions 30/35hp that has been recently completed. The car has been subject to a total nut-and-bolt restoration over a period of 7½ years.
The remains of this vehicle were purchased from a deceased estate in Melbourne, Australia, with no information relating to the car's history.
The Alldays & Onions registry in Great Britain has no records on the six-cylinder 30/35s or any idea of how many were produced and are of the opinion that this may be the only one that has survived.
The car is a six-cylinder T-head rated at 30/35hp with dual ignition and a 4 speed transmission.
I am hoping that you could publish this in the PreWarCar editorial and there may be some readers who may be able to provide some further information regarding the six-cylinder 30/35 Alldays & Onions.
Regards,
Nigel Smith
Australia

Nigel! Well, if there isn't a current register, I would not mind trying my hand at it. Any Alldays & Onions owners are welcome to contact me with their information... I am an H.C.C.A. member, so it's easy to find me...

The Alldays six-cylinder seems to have entered the market halfway through 1910. There is some mention in the media of six-cylinder models, mostly in 1911 and 1912. The Red Book lists the six-cylinder from 1911 to 1914, but I doubt if many were produced. There are not many images available of the six, but I have a photo of one in Russia, so there were some exported, apparently. I have uploaded an image from The Autocar of a 1912 landaulet with an almost identical body, but missing the extension of the passenger compartment at the front.
One remark about your beautifully restored car: missing on the bonnet are the characteristically shaped hand grips, which recently appeared to be a vital feature for identifying an Alldays truck.

Hello Keith,
When I purchased my car back in 2016 I was contacted by Richard Dover from Great Britain. Richard owned a 1912 Alldays & Onions 12/14hp and had formed an Alldays & Onions register. The contact details I had are no longer valid. Richard had no idea of the production number of the six-cylinder 30/35s and was of the opinion the mine was the only one in existence.

I sure wish I could Nigel! I didn't even KNOW they built a six. I have a 1910 two-cylinder that I brought over to the States a few years ago. It is a very tough little car, and tours well. You'll be very pleased touring with a six! Is there a registry? If so, I'd like to know, and if not, there should be...

In May of this year I purchased a 1913 Enfield Autocar restoration project. You are likely aware that these cars were built by Alldays & Onions following the disposal sale of the automobile arm of Royal Enfield in 1908. My engine and transmission is identical to Richard (now Rachel) Dover's and she has been very helpful to me. I would be keen to swap information as there is very little about it—my recent trip to Britain with visits to the museums and libraries at Beaulieu, Gaydon, Redditch and Birmingham, and correspondence with the V.C.C., has yielded almost nought bar advertisements and the odd description and a few diagrams. We should swap notes. I assume you have read Norman Painting's books on the subject. He is a good source of information with access to the Alldays & Onions company records. I'd be happy to correspond.
