I wonder what the impetus was for the Chummy cowl in the first place - thermosiphon cooling? Bet it's a fabulous car underneath but the front doesn't work for me personally with what Jem Marsh's design was trying to do in late 50s.

I think OC 67 may be a different car; OD 67 is not recognised on the DVLA website, but PVS 363 is a green Austin first registered August 1931, which ties in with OD 67 being re-registered. OC 67 is also DVLA recognised, and is a 1933 Austin, also green ...

The Chummy Rad conversion was to allow it to race in a different class from the crossflow rad original design.

I see that OD 67 was entered by Nick Morgan, for Beaulieu in 1979, as a 1931 Odd Job Special. I don't remember the car, although it should have been parked in between my Ashley and my brother's special at the event.
As dickie65 suggests, the rules of 750mc Austin 7 racing at the time, was that the radiator had to be of upright, original Austin 7 style. For this reason, I reluctantly sold my Ashley, and replaced it with a Cambridge special.
