Re: AL Tourer

Hi David,

Re: AG Tourer

David Harrison's AG Tourer Photos - uploaded on his behalf as promised. Apologies for the delay David, been a bit busy these past few days.

David Says:

"Here are some photos of the AG:

1) in the customs shed with friends!
2) on the trailer with the AK at home
3, 4, 5 and 6) engine, interior(!) & near welding shots!

For your information:
The Box is now a 4 speed (a 3 speed came in the car)
The engine has a sidedraft Zenith, No oil, split bottom hose & core plugs missing in the head, but free & I'm hopeful it will run ... it did in about 2002!
I have cleared out a stack of oak leaves, nuts etc & the floor is "patchy" & self draining, but not a disaster at all. Hood is a bit tatty, but original & the frame & sidescreens are good.

Plenty to go at before I make any long term decisions!"

Re: AG Tourer

Not a lot wrong there that patience and graft won't put right. I do like the perforated hardboard door cards. Very trendy!

If you get fed up with it I'll take it off your hands.

Re: AG Tourer

I'm going to get it running & see what I have! I know now it is marked on the tunnel AG 1425 (not neatly, but very firmly...dented even!) Still looking for the chassis marking, bit more scraping to go yet. The car has a 4 speed box fitted, but the original 3 speeder is with it. It also has a side-draft carb!
There are no cables to nor from the original starter button & it will not be easy to get at the terminals, only by taking off the whole assembly, bracket & all, with its - no doubt - well seized slotted round head screws. Lots of fun ahead!

Re: AG Tourer

so where did it come from? and how long was it there prior? looks fab.

Re: AG Tourer

The AG went to California in 1968,not used from 1980's because it was replaced by the 1929RK in the picture which went out in 1992. Both owned by the same man.
