Mine was overhead valve, John, but as far as can remember, there were twin cams working the rockers via pushrods about 4 inches long. I'm just glad it was never scrapped. Of my many, it is the one I remember most fondly, despite its impracticability. The Jowett Javelin it replaced came a close second. That was was a very practical car for a young man and his fiancee, with its bench seat in the front, steering column change, flat floor with no transmission tunnel and a pistol-type handbrake under the dash. Happy days... Andy |

There you go, Ade - all is explained. Thanks for the link, Stuart. I suppose the only good thing about us being 1947 vintage is that our state pensions kick in this year. Perhaps I will be able to afford some beef dripping to liven up my bread. Andy |

Fascinating stuff - and I'm not surprised that it was a tax thing... Thanks for the link :) |
