You think I would put passengers in the back of a Chummy? With an original '27 body (alloy wheel arches etc)?

Nooooo!!!!

Here's a little-known picture of the Austin Work's testers, loaded with the Bunter twins, about to run a high-speed test on a stretch of Belgium pavé. Sadly, after just one mile, the back of the car snapped off, dumping the unfortunate twins into the road. Austin responded immediately by ignoring the problem - until they were forced, after a soul-searching delay - to beef things up by fastening two strips of Meccano to the rear of the chassis.

Nicely photoshopped Tony, but the twins look just a bit too big...(and you can see the join, as Eric said to Ernie)

I know, I know - just a 2-minute knock-up! As the details improve, the time needed to get them right expands exponentially...
