Thanks for the era photos Tom. I don’t usually care for speedsters but the white speedster 8th from the bottom is interesting. The windshield, I believe, was salvaged from a Dodge open car and only the top half frame was used. And see how they patched up between cowl curvature and stanchion ? Is the “splash apron” wooden ? And what a whopper of a steering wheel ! ….

Notice the two white speedsters have the hood in about the same place. Maybe low radiator cowl with high radiator.

More Scouts out and about.....

The RHD roadster in photo 8 is interesting. I can't make up my mind whether it is Tarrant body or a Duncan and Fraser special. I am leaning to D&F on the basis of the cowl vents used, the trpe of protruding door hinges and the general design reminiscent of my 1925 D&F roadster. Both builders used those crowned fenders, but Tarrants had an extra rolled edge as well as the C moulding . Canting the windscreen like that would certainly help in hot weather.

10th Photo made me think of Rich Eagle.
