Hi Jon
You are nearly correct. The chassis number dates the car to February 1929 and ball change gear boxes were introduced in the October, more or less at the same time as the "bacon slicer" was discontinued. So I should have a bacon slicer starter but I'll stick with what I have after all it is a special. I do rather like the gate change though. It "seems" more precise?
Cheers
Howard
