British and European Car Spotters Guide - 1928

This image shows the Adler Diplomat of 1928. It was powered by a three liter six cylinder engine and had rear-wheel drive with independent front suspension.

In 1928 Barnato and Rubin drove a 4½ Liter to victory at Le Mans. The winning car covered the last lap with a broken frame and a dry radiator to earn a place in racing history.

1928 Crossley 15.7hp - this model was to remain in production until 1934. A sporting alternative, reviving the Shelsley name, was added in 1929.

1928 Hillman 14 Tickford Cabriolet - one of many coachwork variations.

A 1928 Morris Cowley, after the transition to the more efficient (and cheaper to manufacture) flat radiator.

1928 Whitlock 20/70 saloon. Whitlock made much of easy-to-erect hood fittings for their open models, the folding mechanism of the Whitlock being fitted with spring assistance. At the end of 1927, cylinder capacity of the 20/70 hp was increased to 3301 cc, and centralised chassis lubrication was standardised, though chassis price remained at £600: a rose-pink coupe was an eye-bending feature of the company's ritual Olympia exhibit. A modern touch was evident in the company's 1928 'Coupe d'Interieur'; cloth inserts were let into its leather upholstery to increase seating comfort and other models were upholstered in 'special anti-dust cloth'.

1928 Whitlock Coupe d'Interieur, which featured cloth inserts in the upholstery to increase seating comfort.
