Interesting Factory Picture

I find this fascinating, You can't get much more hand built than this, it isn't dissimilar to what a lot of us have gone through restoring these cars in our garages.

Note the guy inside the shell, presumably fitting the fuel tank

Dusty,

I love seeing pictures like that. Have you got any more to share?

[robcall]

Tin of Dulux paint noted bottom right hand corner-touch-ups?

Agreed-love these old pix

None quite as interesting unfortunately. I have the one of the rolling chassis as used in my avatar and a few of the press shots. I'll scan them in later

I was amused by the dulux as well

Cheers

A couple more, but I'm sure you have seen these before as they have been in many books.





I have another somewhere, I'm intending to put the four in a nice frame and hang it (if I'm allowed!)

Jon,

That's a great overhead picture of the rolling chassis, but what is the triangular object at the rear of the cylinder head, is it some sort of temporary assembly cover on the plug leads or what ?

I think it's a spark plug supression plate (a square aluminium plate bolted to the top of the gearbox in an attempt to shield the radio). It looks triangular because of the reflection of the chassis on it....?

Doh !

I see it now !

As Sherlock would no doubt say: Elementary, my dear Watson !

Fascinating! I tried, in vain, to work out which version of the car they are working on or even whether they are LH or RH drive but cannot see any clues.

Love all the boot lids stacked up against the rear wall!

About the picture taken in front of the house - I've seen it before along with a claim that it's Chapman's house. True?

[Elanintheforest]

I think that this was the Chapman residence, Keith.
