Another mystery hailing from India (update: Standard Avon)


You may remember we had a rather hard time identifying the (alleged) 1905 l’Elégante some weeks ago, believing the mystery car, shot in India, was a Rover. But you knew better, and right you were! Want more of that? You get more, as we’ve had another message from our friend Karl. And once again, he attached a picture of an old car photographed in India a long time ago. Karl wrote: “Hello once again. Firstly thank you for identifying the 1905 l'Elegante in Bombay that I shared the picture of recently. I have another one to identify."

"A friend saw this photograph hanging on the wall in an old garage in Nasik, India, amongst other pictures. All others were easy to identify except this sporty looking possibly European car. The registration number tallies to Poona (now Pune), at around the 1940s (all cars in the region were assigned new numbers in 1939). I hope you can help me identify the car.” Now, it looks English to us, but we wouldn’t dare giving it a go this time. So let's leave it over to you, our readers. You surely may help us - and Karl - out once more.

I think it's a Standard Avon by the Jensen Brothers from about 1932 vintage, in the past I've owned a 1933 by Charles Beauvais .

The car looks like a 1930's Standard Avon. There were quite a few Standards exported to India and there are some Avon cars which have survived and are known to the club.

It looks a lot like a Standard Avon dating from the early 1930s.
