Hi Colin

I think a lot has been said about this car already but I’ve just noticed a few things on its eBay listing that amuse me.

It has a lovely polished DJ4 distributor which is not connected to the advance and retard levers.  Quite how the car starts and then runs well is anyone’s guess.

Primer plugs were fitted to early cars but by 1929/30 they were long gone.  Particularly the weird taps on this car!

I’m not sure how the sliding windows are moved back and forth and the door pull is wrong!  As for the dash, don’t get me started.

A triumph of polishing over practicality  Smile.

Cheers

Howard

PS At half the price I’d be tempted even if it would cost me to put things right.
