Any ideas of make or year of vehicle
does anyone have any idea of the make, year or any information as to what this very long vehicle would have been used for.......
This photograph was taken in Caterham Valley Surrey, and has been in my cousins family for as long as he can remember...... |

Re: Any ideas of make or year of vehicle
This is a picture of a Charabang which was popular in the 20's and 30's. Not a lot of help. " charabanc was a sort of coach, usually open-topped, with rows of bench seats, often used on works outings, trips to the seaside and for groups for visiting places of interest"

Re: Any ideas of make or year of vehicle
Interesting photo, looking at it I would have said the same as Starlight and Kelly.
 Imagine having to start it up with one of those starting handles  Nice photograph though. |

Re: Any ideas of make or year of vehicle
Hi Kelly, Starlight, and Pauline, thank you so much for the information listed....
..At least I have some idea now of what it is used for, and am hoping to try and find out if there are any members of my family in this photograph somewhere... Writing on the side says I think... Charles Taylor 36, Grant Road, Croydon. registration BY 4074. I originate from Caterham, a stones throw Croydon, so will try Google to see if anything comes up... Hope I can find even more information about this... thanks once again dottie x |

Hi dottie I tried to read the wording on the vehicle but it was sending my eyes weird  It seems strange when you look at old photo's. I felt as if I was being drawn into it. Good Luck with your research on the photo. |
