Interesting bonnet fixing arrangement.
Looks like knurled fasteners at each end
Of the bonnet sides plus the leather strapping to hold down
The “separate?) top.

It looks like a development of the Ulster bonnet arrangement, the top being secured by leather straps which are fixed to the side panels.  The side panels appear to be quickly detachable by unscrewing the knurled fasteners at front and rear.  Presumably there will be a system for locating the lower edge of the bonnet side panels, again similar to the Ulster.

Lovely- what a shame it wasn't a production model - I would have thought it could have sold well against the PA MG with its heavy and very complicated OHC engine.

Cheers, Tony.

Absolutely superb looking beast all round, where could I actually see one?
