Are these cars actually on 'Ulster' chassis or given the date of the Grand Prix, 24 March 1930 and the time taken to ship chassis from Longbridge to Melbourne and for bodies to be built, perhaps A9 or B series Supersports?
The Dickason car has a Supersports type exhaust manifold.
Are there any records of car numbers or chassis numbers?
The close up frontal view of Dickason's car in Steve Kay's post shows what I would call an Ulster Front Axle.
Passenger Liners could do the UK to Australia Trip in 6-7 weeks in the late 20's - freight a little longer. Austin 7 bodies were often built in Melbourne ready for fitting when the chassis arrived .
Was his car supercharged ?
Sorry, something went wrong.
No Tony, all normally aspirated
