One wonders what it would make in an auction? Shall we run a phantom one? The bidding opens now....

Two things stood out to me. One was that the engine rebuild for 1000 quid seems low. The other is the claimed top speed of 50 mph. I would have expected more if it is in good fettle.

Couldn't live with those pinky - red wheels. Strange looking front radius arms and a VERY bowed front axle (or am I just seeing it wrong). Are there no brakes at the rear? The o/s lever is missing on the cross shaft...or are they hydraulic? That should be "interesting"

The braking system is the very late rod type - this only has a brake crosshadt on the driver’s side as the rod pulls centrally to a pivot on the rear axle.

Thanks for that! Not familiar with the later models.

It is an obscure design but works very well!

Looks like it has sold now. Yes Reckless, I thought the axle looked very bowed. It seems like it may have a join/weld on looking at the close up??
