It would be interesting to learn if it has an MDC floor-pan.
A '31 Tourer with an MDC floor-pan. Imagine trying to describe why that's so rare and important on a windscreen description chart. Mind you, one of those dealers across the channel would make a meal of it: "Originally constructed as a personal milk float for use by His Majesty King George V, who, disappointed with its carrying capacity, sent it back with a rude note asking for something better. The factory then converted it into a standard tourer for use by the palace concubines, the most active of whom - between engagements - raced it at Brooklands ."
