This 25/30 owned by Tony Courtney's was one of the last to be made. It is of the style used for the cars supplied for the Prince of Wales' tour of South Africa and is quite possibly one of the cars actually used. It is known that in the late 1920s the car was in use by the RAF in Belfast when it gained its current registration number. It went into private ownership in 1929 when it was bought by a private hire compnay called Beedon based in Hardingstone, Northampton who ran it until 1932.
The chassis number is 15268 and the engine is 15273.
