Hi Hedd and Ian
Thanks for the input. My chassis is February 1929 so I had assumed that the change would have occurred with the introduction of the new AD body mid year.
The 1927 Cox Sports Tourer is described in Bryan Purves Source book on page 128. I had assumed that this reference would have made it authentic to 1927. But you could be right and the car could well have been from Barry Argent's fertile imagination and reported as original! In any case its a pretty car, quite easy to build and relatively strong.
This suits me as I hope to do some vintage trials with it. So your comment on strengthening the chassis are very useful. A top hat section under the repair is a great idea and maintains the look of the vintage chassis.
Cheers
Howard
