As I sed, the drawing is an artist drawing. And open to an amounts of interpretation.
There is a centre bar.
A forward facing starter.
I beleive a 4 speed crash box.
As a drawing it does make the rad shell look like an intermediate "chummy type" but I think it's actually a tall rad.
The advance and retard levers are PRE RP saloon. No bakalight cover.
And we're it gets interesting, is YES it has a rear mounted tank.
When I ran the business as central 7s with wayne rushin. 25 years ago. We had two scrap cars in at the same time. They were 5 body numbers apart. One an RN and one an RP. BOTH CARS had several parts on them that were wrong, BUT all the parts were mirror image to each car.
I can remember the RN had a rear mounted tank, and had never been drilled for a bulkhead tank.
And the RP had a bulkhead mounted tank.
The rear body lines were also swapped on both cars.
And the instruments were also opposit, as the dash panels are different. This must have been done in manufacture.
I always felt it must have been a monday morning in BRUM, and with four lines running at the same time at longbridge the parts had been mixed as the two cars were being built. Side by side.
But perhaps not and there are more out there.
We learn something new every day.
Tony.
Also notice it has a 26va carb on the engine section.
And my favourite, the section of rear axle is drawn without backplates. Making it look like a 1923 axle.
Loads of fun!
