Re: History of my car

Just my comment- all ID plates pop riveted on should be treated with caution as with rounded corner ID plates.

Cheers, Tony.

Ed, I think that any further discussion should be private.

Re: History of my car

Edmund - you may be disappointed for a while with the info you've received, but I'm sure you'll be enthused with what was/will be a lovely-looking car when you're mobile in it. Your great photos will also be a great help to many restoring their cars in future. Good Luck with it, Cheers, Bill

Re: History of my car

Thankyou Bill

I greatly enjoy driving her & she always gets a great reception from other road users & members of the public at shows, or when I nip into town in her & park her by the curb.
Someone always has a memory to share with me, or a question to ask about her

Re: History of my car

What I'd really like to know is who's owned her, where's she been & what she's been up to over the years

I supposed what I was looking for was"oh that's uncle George's old car, he found it in a hedge, fixed it up & drove it all around the North West"

I could make something up for you if that helps - I'm quite good at telling fibs...

Re: History of my car

It's easy to fit a RN tank to a RP and it's less prone to rot which may be why your car has a RN tank, however where is the outlet? Most RN tanks I've seen have a tap on the nearside bottom corner, or is yours off a van with a petrol gauge sender on offside? I can't remember where the van tank outlet is.

Re: History of my car

I have both, tap under glove box & a fuel gauge.
The tank looks fairly new. There was a lot of rot in the rear when I got her, this had very very crude repairs over the years, but I suppose these repairs at least kept her going.
I knew she was an RP with a tank that had been fitted in the front at some time & that the registration dated from 1932, but these sort of things were done to keep what were at one time, just old bangers.

Three friends of mine in my car club have 'box of bits cars' an Ulster, an MG J2 with a supercharger an an SS100.
None with any history, all worth a fortune.

I'm just going to keep on motoring & having fun 😀
