Ancora Bayliss-Thomas, per favore!

Non è comune vedere due Bayliss-Thomas insieme, ma ai due estremi opposti del globo il nuovo anno si è aperto con l’incontro in Australia tra la 12/27 Tourer del 1926 di Ted Cliff e la 11/22 Boat-Tail Roadster del 1926 di Laurie Schneider. Nel Regno Unito, David Lobb e Nigel Hamlin-Wright hanno sfidato il gelo per riunire le loro rispettive 11/22 del 1925 e 10/22 del 1924 nel Suffolk. Nigel sta cercando di contattare il maggior numero possibile di proprietari di Bayliss-Thomas per preparare una breve storia delle vetture superstiti – si pensa che ne restino solo 11 su una produzione di circa 1100, cioè appena l’1%. Se puoi aiutare, contattaci! (testo e foto: Nigel Hamlin-Wright).

Aggiornamento: Andrew Cox possiede una Bayliss-Thomas speciale con carrozzeria Skiff, una 11/22 la cui Meadows 4EB è stata modificata con l’albero motore e altri componenti del successivo Meadows 4ECA. Sulla carta, la potenza del motore sarebbe circa raddoppiata. La parte anteriore, il cambio e le ruote sono Riley, mentre il retrotreno è Jaguar. A Melbourne c’erano altre tre vetture complete, e tre ulteriori smontate.

Aggiornamento III, ancora da Andrew Cox: La Bayliss-Thomas a cui si riferisce David Robert Skinner era di proprietà del defunto Graeme Carson, che l’aveva anche restaurata. Dopo la sua scomparsa, l’auto è stata venduta da Shannon’s ed è da allora scomparsa. Qualcuno sa dove si trovi?

Hi there,
Just replying to Stacey Carson and the group. We are the current custodians of Graeme Carson's Bayliss Thomas, or should i say, my daughter is. We acquired the BT in '22 from a local gentleman, whom purchased it at the Shannons auction in 2007. My daughter and son -in-law drive the BT regularly (weather permitting) for pleasure, and to show the BT at local events. It attracts a lot of attention at shows, being such a rare car, and the 50 year old restoration is holding-up well.

Hi, I live in Victoria, Australia and I have available two Bayliss-Thomas radiators from around 1923 and other parts including several Meadows 4EB and 4EC engines and parts, cone clutches, &c., if anyone is seeking parts.

Hi Everyone
My Partner is the daughter of Graeme Carson. She was married in it and has a beautiful picture of her and her Father in full dress attire in the car. It saddened her greatly that she could not accommodate the vehicle in her current home all those years ago. This week is the 15th Anniversary of his passing. It would be a beautiful acknowledgement to him to know the car is well loved and appreciated. Stacey and I often talk of his many hobbies (Brough Superior) for example that to this day tells a story. A very loved and talented man that unfortunately i never met, but as I type this brings me to tears. She sent me this attachment this morning and I felt I needed to write this. Thank you and on behalf of Stacey, it makes her proud that Graeme's workmanship lives on. Thanks again.

Hello
Thank you for your lovely comment regarding Graeme Carson's beautifully restored car.
This was my Dad's car which I grew up watching him restore and he drove me in on my wedding day.
He was a very clever man and I wish my now teenage kids could see his amazing work. If you have the car at a car show or rally, I would love to see it again one day - I live in Melbourne. If you ever sell it or have sold it I would love to know to information if possible.
I have no idea if you will receive this message due to the date on this site.
I hope this car is bringing you the joy it brought to my Dad and family for many years.
Kind Regards
Stacey Carson

From the home of Bayliss Thomas. I have a 1927 12/27 roadster running the original Henry Meadows 4EC motor which i purchased in 1962 from the Heidelberg Victoria area.I have over the years been able to accumulate a few spare parts namely 5 x spare 4EC motors [earliest casting date 25/02/26] & 1 x 4EB motor with no visible casting date.I also have 1 spare wide wheel base & 1 spare narrow wheel base chassis.I also have quite a number of body parts & 2 x spare radiators.I have assorted 6V starter motors & generators "BUT" do not have & desperately need a 12V lucas generator.I have been able to help out the late Graeme Carson with his 1926 roadster,Ted Cliff with his 1926 tourer & Andrew Cox with his Baliss Thomas / Riley special which he took over from David Price.To my knowledge 69 cars were imported to Australia & distibuted by Automobiles Ltd. of William St. Sydney & Francis Motors of 249 Latrobe St. Melbourne & also at Canterbury.Tom Francis {one of the Francis brothers used to compete on a regular basis & picked up a number of trophies}.There may also have been some privately imported cars with English built bodies as i have manufacturers name plates off one.

Shannons auctions at Melbourne sold a very nice B/T 2 seater roadster in March 2007. This was a very nicely restored car with a meadows engine and some spares. I wish I had bought it but it's reg no. was very valuable and hence beyond my budget!
