Supplied to W.A.Burdall of 94 Riverdale Rd, Ranmoor, Sheffield by Jack Olding & Co Ltd. Gurney Nutting saloon 10'10" chassis with C type and 15/53 rear axle ratio. New camshaft in 1931 and various decarbonisations, valves, guides and rockers between 1932 and 1935.It was sold to Flt St A.A.Pearce of Kings Cliff in 1936 and then involved in an accident in 1937. It was then sold to E.Innes-Pocock of Newquay, Cornwall in 1939. History during the war is a bit vague but it was bought by my father (who already had a 1924 3 litre XT 5594) in 1957 from a Mr Batey-Scott of Weybridge, Surrey saving it from the scrapyard.
