Re: An interesting van on E-Bay

Yep. Dashboard identical to my March 1930 chummy. Just like it says on that website!

Re: An interesting van on E-Bay

Hedd,

You must have a very special Chummy going by the picture Martin posted-

The bulbous panel looks to have a Lucas SM5 switch panel but the Speedometer seems to have an ammeter inserted.

Re: An interesting van on E-Bay

Comparing the two you can see what I consider to be the remains of the Chummy dashboard, it appears to have been simply grafted on to the top section which I would guess derives from another vehicle or fabrication of some sort.

Re: An interesting van on E-Bay

With the photos side-by-side, I can see where Hedd and Ruairidh are coming from. It seems like a heck of a lot of work!

Next question - does anyone recognise the steering wheel - or at least the head with the hand controls?

It's a pity that the Ebay listing doesn't show any details of the chassis, suspension or axles.

Location: Herefordshire, with an "E" not a "T".
