thanks. I did know that splitty travellers had the shorter bonnet?

No they didn't - I think that your post has a typo, given the question mark at the end of the statement. The Short Bonnet was only on Side-valve engined cars and the Traveller (Utility Vehicle) wasn't introduced until the merger with Austin. The photo of the blue "transitional" traveller shows a car with a fake centre screen strut - the car has a one-piece post October 1956 windscreen.
The short bonnet was deleted in mid-1951. My signature shows a short-bonnet high-light and my August 1956 built Traveller (with long bonnet). All my cars are Split-screen, including the newest acquisition of a June 1950 low-light (not yet in the sig picture).
Regards, George.

thanks, reminder to me to re-read my posts first. whoops...

I've just noticed it's the shadow from the aerial on the wing. It gives the impression it has a shorter bonnet. Looked carefully and I can see it has the normal bonnet set up as per your statement above.

[gtt1951]

Aha - I didn't notice that! Yes, indeed, the bonnet does look "short", but the windscreen still has a dummy "fake" centre strut (seen this before on an eBay offering).

If you study the photo, it is the one currently on ebay. It seems to have been listed for many months.

Spotted today. Permanent exhibit at Avoncroft Museum near Bromsgrove.

Did you see all the Austin 8s.? We had 19 the day before but only 15 yesterday. Sorry that I did not meet you

[palacebear]

Yes I saw the Austin's including the Woody (yours I believe). I waited around for a while but didn't see anyone near it apart from admirers of course! A good display of cars!

I went to the Hanworth Classic in Bushy Park today (Opposite Hampton Court Palace, Surrey) and spotted a split screen pick up. reg was 4 digits. I'd never personally seen one before in 30 years of owning classic cars.

Did you, by any chance, take any pictures? George.

Saw a nice example of a 1968/69 G reg Trafalgar? Blue moggy yesterday about 3:15pm on the Kitts Green Road Birmingham.

saw a broken down convertible on the grass verge just south of Peterborough services - London bound on the A1. was about 1pm. I couldn't stop as I was doing 70mph and was late.

A family member said they had spotted a maroon saloon with grey interior trim, sadly I have no more details as their description was quite vague

I think I know the car you're referring to, a family member said they had spotted a broken down convertible about that time in that area, hope it was recovered ok

Went to the A47 Auto Jumble and Car Show near Leicester today. Quite a few Moggies, but loads of other stuff too. Here's a selection...

Quite a good event. Not so huge you feel you're trudging round for hours and any pre '90 motor is free entry with Driver +1 included.
It was the first time we'd been.
