Light car Mysteries 1922 (UPD. Galloway & Mathis)
Moray Letham writes: "This interesting photo was found in a motoring book I had, written on the back it says 'Scottish 6 day Light Car Trial 1922, Billy Barker Galloway'. The registration numbers are clear, maybe the cars still exist... I would be delighted to present this photo to the current owner if he was found. Keep up the good work on the best "old car" site on the internet!!"
We enjoy receiving pictures (and comments!) like this, and we look forward to see if you can identify the cars and their drivers. Clue - one of the cars shown won an award in that trial, but the other did not.
This website allows you to check if a car is known to the UK authorities by entering the registration number and make of car.

There are several more of Brunel's pictures of the event in 'The Golden Age of British Motoring' (beautiful book) and one of them is a close-up of the right hand car. The caption reads: 'Mathis was an Alsace-based German firm, which after First World War border changes became French. This car is in the Scottish Six Days Trial'

Kevin Atkinson is correct - Galloway & Mathis. But it is interesting to visit the Seabrook via Nick Simpson's suggestion. A good picture of one can be found on Austin Harris's excellent site...

The Galloway was made by ladies for the lady driver, and the manager in the Scottish factory was Dorothée Pullinger who won the 1924 Scottish 6 day trial in one of her cars.

To correct Nick Simpson's identification, although sharing similarities in radiator shape with the Seabrook, the car to the right is a Mathis. The Mathis badge can be clearly seen in the photo.

Well to make life easy for us the answer to one of the cars can been found as part of the writing on the back!
On the left we have William Barker in his 10.5hp Galloway (Galloway won a silver award), and on the right we have a stationary HG Cassie in his 7.5hp Mathis (Cassie was classified as 5th in class B without an award)
