A Veteran from 1906 at Little Wakering
Does anyone remember?
By Robert Hallmann
Can somebody remind me? It’s many years ago that I photographed this beautiful car in Little Wakering. I had admired the 1906 Armstrong-Whitworth at a veteran car rally and the owners had agreed for me to photograph it at their home. I think this photograph was taken in their garden. They lived almost opposite the church – I know we didn’t drive far to reach it. Would anyone remember? Is it perhaps still there? What happened to it?
Armstrong Whitworth are probably better known for their aircraft (Vickers-Armstrong), but they also produced armaments, ships and locomotives. The first Armstrong Whitworth car was produced in 1906.
