"On inspection
the chassis numbers have never been
over stamped and the chassis shows
evidence of having been present in
the Gurney Nutting fire of Easter
1924.
Detailed and documented research indicates
this car to be what was known as Scrap
2, one of the works breakdown/delivery
vans.
From the one photo known to exist
of the works van, the body is being
re-created.
Engine No 596 that was fitted up until
circa 1960 was swapped for engine
number 560 which is the very first
of the Speed Model engines with the
twin slopers.
Other interesting points of note are
no guarantee plate ever fitted. Original
bulkhead but never drilled to take
a guarantee plate.
The filler neck on the fuel tank is
designed to take an extension filler
neck to reach out to the edge of the
flat bed body."
