This feature - first published 12 December 2001 - is part of a series of 15 'rearview mirror' articles in view of PreWarCar's 15th full year online as per July 1, 2001. In the years after several more or less similar publications were started since they saw the succes of PreWarCar.com. One in particular we like to mention as it is no respect a copy, but one that gave shape to an earlier idea that was going in circles in our mind. Glad somebody else started a basic online car encyclopedia: AllCarIndex.com . More specific encyclopedias - outside Wikipedia - are Early American Automobiles and countless more. A famolus one of the early days is also OldWoodies.com. Now that we think of it. What happened to that friendly website with good information on most British carmakes?
EARLIER TEXT:
Chances are pretty big that you have never seen the Stoneleigh badge before. It's one of those hundreds of makes thatcame, rose and fell. We are determined to tell you more and show you more of these almost forgotten cars. But we only want to mention a make, when we have something to tell or to show. There are websites with hundreds of makes and nothing behind it. That's against our small package of principles. Some people wonder why we don't show Ople. Or Schaudel Motobloc. Or Unic Puteaux. Or Pope from the US. Now you know. But this is going to change in a near future. Now we only show makes which have cars on sale to offer. Later on we will also show makes that have a clublink to offer at least. Want to see a Stoneleigh car? Click here.
added: Stoneleigh was - according to Georgano - active from 1912 -1924.
