Ch 274 listed as "unknown" body and coachbuilder, delivered in May 1923, to Capt R. Harvey. Nearly a year later (11 April 1924, page 666) The Autocar published a photo of Capt. RC Harvey's 3-litre, with 2-seater body with dickey seat, by Munn & Underwood, Southampton. Nice lines. Polished alum body with blue wings and leather. Either 2nd body or old photo.
