My 65 tank is exactly as per a 1933 box saloon apart from the different filler neck, my tank is original even down to the tinned finish inside. the breather did not come in till the ruby production, the filler neck has loads of solder bodging in the picture. The early 65s did not have the washers welded to the chassis rails because the crankcase was solid mounted, My dec 33 chassis should have solid mount engine.
There was an early 65 liberated from Cornwall a couple of years ago (Ebay for ) for £5000 its was incomplete but unmolested. as Tony mentioned it is a good basis for rebuild. I had a quote of £16000 for a complete new Nippy Body about 5 years ago !!
