Not listed on the register but this was a green two-seater F2 (chassis number F1476) sold by the Crosland Motor Co and first registered on 1 December 1932 by a D. Hall of Beverley in Yorkshire. Nothing further would seem to have been heard of it.

The impossible we do immediately, Michael; it's just the miracles that take a bit of time!

Just adding to Simon's contribution:
The car was originally green with green trim and with engine number 1674BF (denoting a +0.10" rebore)

And sadly that's all we know about the car. The factory records carry no information about an alternative registration.

Roger Michael, I'm sure George Eagle, our indefatigable F,L and N registrar would like to learn any more info that you can provide!

Michael.

As a matter of interest:
The WF registrations of East Riding are housed at;

The East Riding of Yorkshire Archive Office. County Hall.
Beverley. HU17 9BA.

Tel. 01482 887700.

Perhaps you'll find a bit of interest there
regarding both registration numbers for your father. You never know until you ask.

Good luck to you both.

Brian.
