How many Clyno cars exactly came to Australia during the 1920s?

In researching for information for the article I am trying to find out how many came to Australia. I understand that the Rootes Organization was the UK exporting agent."

Grand Prix Cyclecar

When Ron Godfrey and Archie Frazer-Nash revealed their first prototype GN in 1910, little could they have imagined that, 10 years later, their firm would have come to epitomise the very best of the British cyclecar industry: cars that were affordable, sprightly and rollicking good fun.

We all have one or more big loves. For some, their wife is all they need but others fall in love with a lady on 4 wheels. The Beaulieu Autojumble is certainly the place to make you excited. You meet friends, find the most amazing parts and have a good time.

The wonderful world of Classic Days. A preview

This weekend (Friday 2nd to Sunday 4th of August) the wonderful event Classic Days in Schloss Dyck, Germany takes place and this is a rather good way to get out of the daily grind.

The highlights of this year will be 100 years of Bentley, 110 years of Bugatti, 125 years of Mercedes-Benz Motorsport, 50 years of Porsche 917, 50 years of Ford Capri and of course the usual ingredients like Jewels in the Park and Racing legends. A big garden party with likeminded people doesn’t that sound attractive to you?!

PreWarCar.com & PostWarClassic.com will be present, on the Apfelweise, stand nr. 305.  And we are bringing some treats...
