Summary
Blue painted steel hinged scuttle (the panel that fits between the bonnet and windscreen) of an Austin 12 car. Each side has a handle and two button knobs. The incomplete items are enough to identify the car as a four cylinder, 12 horsepower Austin, and the unusual door shape indicates that the car was a convertible, probably an Austin 12/4 coupe model of circa 1928.
Provenance
Purchased from the estate of the late Lord Wraxall with the assistance of the NHMF and donations from members and supporters.
