Trojan, the white model has the sae grille badge and ornament as the blue one, so, if you know what the white one is then you can tell us what the blue one is.
We know that you know what you know and we know that you know that we don't know what you also know, so if you know how to tell us then tell us and then we will know what you know, won't we?     ZXZ

Get a grip  ME, you know very well that it's a Lanchester Launderette, or is it Manchester Launderette.  _))*

Could it be a Crossley?    ^^^^

Nope, sorry Yorkie, the Crossley badge was similar to a German Iron Cross in a green circle.
The one in question is a blue badge.

Okay, okay...I will stop prolonging everyone's agony, as this is not the quiz section.

The vehicle appears to be a French Delage, "D" series. (early 1930's)

Thanks Trojan, at last! I wish I had put it in the quiz section now except I couldn't have said whether anyone was right or not!

You're welcome. They were quite the luxury car back in the day.

That reminds me, I must book mine in for an MOT.

Be sure they check the inlet manifold connections, and all belts, hoses and gaskets.

Had to replace the water pump on mine last week.

You know, I never even thought about the manifold connections.
As for the Hotpoint top loading automatic, I've stripped and repaired a few of them over 25 years in the trade.

I've only known the door at the front! Even the ones my parents had in the Sixties had the door at the front!
