Yesterday I returned home after the PWA7C Yorkshire Group Cumbria Run.   This started on Thursday from Masham and took a scenic run through the Yorkshire Dales and the Trough of Bowland to a two night stay at Crooklands near Kendal.    The following day was a free day which I used to visit the Haverthwaite steam railway at the southern end of Windermere.  I also took in Strawberry Bank and Tow Top Plantation, two severe hills that were used in the reliability trials of the 1920's.
The return journey back to Boltby was a delightful run across the Yorkshire Dales, the roads being quiet before the weekend bikers ventured out.   The 1931 RL saloon performed very well averaging 39.2 mpg and using about a pint of oil and a similar quantity of water on the trip.

Can anyone confirm that FH7144 is a 1930 AF - and JV**** an AG? I'm guessing that the latter from the size of the glove boxes!

FH 7144 is a 1931 steel bodied tourer (AF?). Not mine but a car I've known for many years and in the same ownership for over 60 years.

I “think” all steel bodied (SWB) chummies are AG body designation.

Thank you, Steve. If a steel body, it will be an AG and easy to identify with two prominent seams running down the rear of the body, a dash with the instruments clustered together in a detachable, central panel and glove boxes large enough to accommodate a newborn.
