But what letter code is a March 29 tourer with nickel rad and headlights mounted next to the rad I appear to have incorrectly thought it was an AD as from the text it predates the AE.(03-04-2019, 08:39 PM)Douglas Alderson Wrote: Hi Mike. Very helpful guide and has been very useful to me. One comment I would make if it is possible it would be good to have a photo/section for all initial types and not have them merged together e.g. the D/AD and P/PA/PB/PC/PF/PL.
Thanks. Douglas
Yes,Douglas, we hope to improve the photo selection. The D/AD is the same body, just Austin revised their method of annotation. The P/PA/PB/PC/PF/PL is still a puzzle to me and needs further research - I can only identify PA, PB, and PC versions; Austin had already started the double letter code by the introduction of the boat-tail, so I suspect the P doesn't exist unless it refers to the much earlier pointed tail Sports of 1924, and as for the PF and PL, they just don't make sense at all.
