Nope, you're both out in the freezing cold

Damn.
A Humber 8 ?

If it wasn't for this company we all might not be here today

Armstrong Siddeley?

 

[S-Express]

Still going on your cryptic clue - I was originally going to say Rolls Royce, but the grille doesn't look right. What about Bentley?

Rover P2

 

[mr messy]

Mk IV? Or if you prefer SS?

 

[goody]

Oh what might have been!

 

[MarquisMatsugae]

I'm going along with @S-Express and saying Rolls.
They built the Spitfire engine

 

[S-Express]

Rover P2

Could be right..

Don't think it's a Rolls grille though...

''Tis true about the grille

 

[MarquisMatsugae]

A Bristol ?

 

[S-Express]

I'm with @goody at the moment - Rover P2 looks possible...

 

[goody]

Probably because it's a Rover P2, the cryptic clue seals the deal.

Haven't read though this, so I don't know..has anyone mentioned using goose fat? Very slippery, and your bike will smell of Christmas Dinner...Win Win..

I'm still stuggling with the Rover link though - unless I've misunderstood the clue...
