    Hi, if anyone knows who this picture is signed by please could you let me know, I'm normally quite good with signatures but this one has me guessing a little!

    Thank you in advance

    It is a Morris Minor Countryman, the woody term was used for an American car.

    I think there is too little contrast in the pictures to really make out the car, let alone any signature.
    Try with better light. Or no glass.

    Looks like Hingford to me.

    Its a timber frame estate (Traveller).

    It looks like it needs an vintage wooden surfboard to me!

    This was a car for country Vicars, not surfers. It had a 1000cc 4 cylinder engine (thats about almost no cubic inches) developing almost enough power to pull the skin off a rice pudding.

    I have driven many miles in one a bit later, my employer had one as a pool car and I'd often drive it from London to Reading and back because running errands was more fun than doing any actual work. Even in the Morris.

    Uh oh...
    I'd better tell some people I know in California to stop doing that. ;)

    That looks more like a T - Hington or Hinton

    Correct though it has morphed into any car with any real wood visible at all.
