Then according to what I've learned, the works made a marketing move. The cars didn't sell well and so they changed the name to Speedy. They also changed a couple of other things, such as the column and wheel, and the wiring. Then the already manufactured bodies went to dealers to assemble. I don't know if any Speedies were built at the works. The Harry Ferguson car that ran in the 1934 Le Mans, would be a Type 75, I think.
Well done Erich, a lovely and unusual car.
I am assuming you will be importing this to the USA, It occurs to me that it would be a shame if the registration number gets parted from the car. I think there is a procedure you can go through to retain the number if and when the car returns to these shores.Obviously that would have to be done before the car leaves the UK.There are probably others on the forum who can give you advice if needed
