Tour Scotland Photograph 1927 Humber Tourer
Humber Limited was a British manufacturer of bicycles, motorcycles and motor vehicles incorporated and listed on the stock exchange in 1887. It took the name Humber & Co Limited because of the high reputation of the products of one of the constituent businesses that had belonged to Thomas Humber. A financial reconstruction in 1899 transferred its business to Humber Limited. From an interest in motor vehicles beginning in 1896, the motor division became much more important than the cycle division and the cycle trade marks were sold to Raleigh in 1932. The motorcycles were withdrawn from sale during the depression of the 1930s.

Tour Scotland Photograph 1930 Vauxhall 25
The G 25hp was the first Vauxhall to use the TT Dubonnet front suspension developed by GM suspension engineer Maurice Olley. The 25hp was publically launched at the London Motor Show and was available in two different wheelbases, GY 9ft 3ins & GL 10ft 10ins. Power came from the well proven 3215cc 6 cylinder engine used in the previous model, and was also extensively used in the Bedford commercial range. The short wheelbase version could achieve nearly 80mph so it was lucky that Vauxhall made their return to using hydraulic brakes which used a split system making it quite advanced for its day. The early versions used a 4 speed gearbox and from 1938 onwards a 3 speed, both boxes came with synchromesh on the top 2 ratios.

Tour Scotland Photograph 1950 Wolseley
Wolseley Motors Limited was a British motor vehicle manufacturer founded in early 1901 by the Vickers armaments combine in conjunction with Herbert Austin. It initially made a full range topped by large luxury cars and dominated the market in the Edwardian era but the Vickers brothers died in 1915 and 1919, respectively. In 1921, expanding rapidly, it manufactured 12,000 cars and still continued to be the biggest motor manufacturer in Britain. Over expansion led to receivership in 1927 when it was bought from Vickers by William Morris as a personal investment and years later moved into his Morris Motors empire. It went with its sister businesses into BMC, BMH and British Leyland where its name lapsed in 1975.

Tour Scotland Photograph 1957 Singer Gazelle
The Gazelle was the first Singer to be produced following the take over of the Singer company by the Rootes Group in 1956 and was a version of the mainstream Hillman Minx differing mainly in retaining the Singer overhead cam engine.

The body style followed by the Gazelle between 1956 and 1967 came to be known as the Audax body, with significant input from the US based Loewy design organisation, highly regarded at the time partly on account of Loewy's input to several iconic Studebaker designs.

Tour Scotland Photograph 1996 Mini Cooper
The Mini is a small economy car made by the British Motor Corporation (BMC), based in the English city of Birmingham, and its successors from 1959 until 2000. The original is considered a British icon of the 1960s. Its space saving transverse engine front wheel drive layout, allowing 80 percent of the area of the car's floorpan to be used for passengers and luggage, influenced a generation of car makers. Issigonis' friend John Cooper, owner of the Cooper Car Company and designer and builder of Formula One and rally cars, saw the potential of the Mini for competition. Issigonis was initially reluctant to see the Mini in the role of a performance car, but after John Cooper appealed to BMC management, the two men collaborated to create the Mini Cooper.
