You may be right, Hedd, about who you know. I was also after the 1936 Motor Show chassis they have in store at Wroughton. That was an absolute no no as no access to Wroughton appears to be allowed now. My initial contact was with the head of Collections, Dr Tilly Blythe, who seemed enthusiastic when I first approached her. The staff I was handed on to have been less that stellar in their handling of this. I still have it in mind to send a Grade A grumble to Dr Blythe saying that the car won't be displayed at the Centenary as a result of her staff's indifference. But then, where would that get me...
As far as getting to measure the wings, I think you would come up against the same 'Asbestos' regulations as I have and I think it unlikely that they would open up the case and let anyone in. But I'd be delighted to hear if that had been made possible..
