1931 Vintage mechanics classic car Burney Poster

Vectorised version of a drawing in a magazine (Everyday Science and Mechanics, November 1931, Volume 2, Number 12.) of the Burney car by Streamline Cars Ltd. Designed by Sir Charles Dennistoun Burney in 1927. Streamline Cars Ltd was the company responsible for making the Burney car designed by Dennis Burney. Sir Charles Dennistoun Burney rose to fame as an airship designer, best known for his work at Howden on the R100 for Vickers. With the ending of the airship programme he used some of his ideas to create a revolutionary car. Starting in 1927, thirteen cars were made at Maidenhead. Each was different, as they were intended as showcases for his patents rather than for serious production. Each car was priced at around £1,500. A blue one was bought by the Prince of Wales late in 1930, and another crossed the Atlantic to be exhibited at the Detroit Car Show. In total, 12 Streamlines were built between 1929 and 1931, but none appear to have survived. Crossley Motors took out a licence to build the Streamline, and two of these vehicles survive.(source: Wikipedia) Ideal for classic car lovers, collectors, car dealers, auto workshops, ....
