This lasted only around 18 months before being changed to the last of short-chassis types. In the past, people have reported problems with this version, but my Chummy had one and I added well over 120,000 miles to those already done on the original by 1963. So, it can't all be bad news!

I'm a great fan of the screw-in torque tube rear axle. Some say it was weak but I never, like Tony, found this to be the case. The real beauty is than one can easily " tune " the meshing without all the faff associated with other types. Long live the SITT!
