Hi
Your carb looks identical to the zenith 26vf that’s fitted to my 1952 ford prefect.
Hope this helps

Period tuning part, ideal for a special, or ordinary Seven if you want improvement in performance.
You would need a tubular exhaust manifold to use this.Later high comp Ruby head would be good too.

Hi IAN,
The inlet manifold, "if period" I beleive were SUPERLOY. Although they didn't mark them.
These were commonly copied, by a few people. The alan raeburn sports inlet was a copy of these.
Although, I think yours being a rougher casting is from another supplier.
If you want to email me, I'll tell you who's it is likely to be.
These inlets were made originally to take ford carbs, although an 1 1/8 SU carbs will fit. But you don't see many made for downdraught use.
The carb on it does look ford. Or at least a simular type, many ford downdraught carbs were cast ford on the top.
Tony.

A not-quite Nippy copy, common enough in the 50s and 60s.
