More pictures as requested.
Purchased the car last September and now in the stages of recommissioning, manage to trace history back to the 80's found in Southampton, owner at that time was a Mr Laska.
Originally registered in London late 1927.
If anyone recognises the car and has any information on its history it would be most welcome, its quite a looker, the rebody is MG like.
Suspect the original car may of been a GE Cup?
I plan to compete in driving tests/auto solo's VSCC, was hoping to be at Silverstone this weekend but works have taken longer than expected.
The car has been totally rewired, new brakes, shoes, cables, cast iron drums, new wheel studs etc etc the list is long !
In the process of replacing all oils and water hoses plus Zenith carb needs work.
Plan to keep it as original as possible, have retained 6v's, low compression head and recently fitted a pair of Lucas headlamps.
Generally the interior was in good condition, however the seats let the car down, hence the original post.
Duncan, love your seats will give them and your kind offer some thought.
This is my first venture into vintage cars and find the forum invaluable.
Many thanks
Paul
Hi Paul,
Nice car— a real special. By the way, re the former owner Mr Laska I just thought if his first name was Alan it would be cool.
