Good morning,
I remember when I was young and my dad was restoring a 1931 RM saloon - probably one of the last of these as it was registered in October 1931 from memory - that it too had a bronze cylinder head when he bought it in 1966. Despite no tax, MOT etc (and no floor or roof!), we drove it home from Spondon to Kirk Hallam where it languished until we moved to Lincoln in 1970.
He sold the car a few years ago but may still have the head somewhere in a box of treasures! I'll see if he still has it and pass on any details about it if he does.
Best wishes,
Nick
