I doubt if the TT cars had body numbers; the bodies would have been built in either the racing department or the experimental shop rather than the main production factory, and I can see no reason why they would have been numbered.

Fantastic Henry. The one we have all been waiting for (even more than the Forrest)!
Really pleased to see this take shape.
Big question is will it be supercharged or not?

The big question for me is how much of the original will be left when you're finished? But wonders can be done these days.
And yes what a fantastic project.
Great to see the work you've done so far Henry.
p.s. I wish I had a proper drawing board! I've had the dining table out of action for months now.

Me too.
Looking forward to seeing progress. With that much floor plan to make you'd be better off in NZ

More work on the drawing board and more model making in the kitchen
The engine and exhaust manifold took rather a long time.....
Simple wheels from foam board with an applied scan of Peter Warner's Boundary Prints Swallow wheel.

The modelling is a work of art in itself!

This is awesome - absolutely fantastic!

Front axle, print from the 1933 Sports Coachbuilders drawing
That's it for quarter full size.
Hopefully I can get out and about soon and then the full-size work can start.

Very impressed, would love to have your draughting and model making skills
RE: My COVID-19 project - TomHunt - 06-05-2020
It even has a 10 stud block! Absolutely love it.
You could start on the Campbell car tomorrow.
