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 😀
