Tony,
Try your '23 Chummy without the fan, yes it will boil occasionally but there's plenty of water in the rad. A good mag will cope with starting on the handle, although I was warned that the correct Scintilla was not up to the job. Mine was fine after a rebuild until recently and it looks good on the bench but now needs a push start. Something else needs sorting I think but the other-half copes with pushing such a light car. And there's always someone in the pub to be volunteered....
The car's a delight on beaded edge, light and responsive, although the early chassis a very flexible as you know. I'm sure the sloping screen helps speed. Take care round bumpy corners.
Being picky, the car for sale should have the Scintilla mag, painted lights, and the control levers on the steering column aren't quite the right ones I think, but need a clearer pic to be sure.
Wish I had the money.
