Hi
I have recently acquired what remains of ‘Scruffy Special’ that I would love to find out more about.
At first I thought this was a cobbled together special, but under closer scrutiny it appears to be very well built. It’s based on a 1929 chassis, the body is made of steel and the rear springs have been let out to pick up a wider D shape axle. The construction of the steel prop tunnel, axle cover, rear panels, doors etc look to be of a very high standard. The dash has been almost completely lost to woodworm, I’m not sure if it had a rear slab type petrol tank. From the chassis register the registration is DV2416 and was last registered with the 750MC. If anyone can shed any light on this, I’d be very interested to hear from them. I have the bonnet, side panels, mudguards, rad shell, seats etc. next step will be to put it all back together to get a better picture of what it looked like.
