Bill Sheehan asked me to post this:
"RK4953 ----- Regret to say this looks nothing like a 1925 Sports and reference to the Source mudwing details is a waste of time. The car looks like it has the small brakes of a '25, a flat AC (1925) tourer scuttle top the - Sports 50 always had a curved top to the scuttle and matching lower windscreen frame which was angled back - , early lamps, steering wheel etc but the tail is nothing like a '25 Sports. It is probably steel (not aluminium as the Sports 50) and it's difficult to say from the angle to say whether it's from a Wasp or a Meteor, both Aussie steel bodies. Re the Chummy wings, I only know of one '25 Sports (in New Zealand) and the owner assured me that the wings, although similar, are not standard Chummy (probably modified at the factory to line up with the curved sports body). Because I'm precluded from looking at the second photo (and from posting direct on the Forum by the ridiculous MyBB system) I can't help any more unless you email me direct on ausevenoz@gmail,com for further help, which I'm happy to provide. Good Luck and Cheers, Bill in Oz"
The brilliant BB 'upgrade'
has struck again !
