But without the provenance backing Andy's statement , Erich, that doesn't really count for anything. Or at least must be challenged as Ruairidh intimates, for more supporting statements?
Humans have generally been restoring cars for years based on bad evidence - largely as cars 'owned for decades' were restored 25 years into their 90 year age. So which are the best cars or photos now which might contribute. Are the Ulster road test images helpful for instance?
It would be great if Andy has that information/confirmation then it would help the determination on Nippy items too, because of the evolutionary aspect. I'll go back to my photos of Nippy BVK, but a stockist like Edgware in the late 1940s could have been a likely provider for those first restorations?
There must be others who can help here. It's a vital pointless detail!
