Some intriguing aspects. The front spring retained on only one side so the bent axle could have had considerable loading. The wheels retained much as are knock off wheels. The rear bearings presumably each take thrust just one way (as many moderns). Plain bearings for the constantly operating gearbox, although these survive in Sevens which spends lot of time in the indirects.
Chassis must have flexed wondrously, but so do trucks.Like Sevens, And incredibly, the braking is split.The steering fast enough for all the skids and lockups from the rear. Looks like great fun, except stopping. Or in the rain
