Yes, ' Snowdrop ' is an early one. Purchased on the 12th November 1934, originally blue all the paint was removed , her first owner Miss Mullins from Reading had the car repainted in Old English White in 1936, total cost for the repaint was £35-12-6threefarthings ! , a 'Radiator Heat Indicator' was also fitted at 15/6d and two Ft37 foglamps supplied and fitted for £4-19-0d ....how things have changed. Currently enjoying a ' nut & bolt ' rebuild, Purchased by me 28th March 1980, She was rallied during the 1980's and has been ' resting ' whilst I have slowly restored her parts, starting with the bare chassis.. Chassis No. 501728. I have all the original documentation, including hire purchase agreement, payment book, and diaries from previous owners...very interesting. Chris Dancey.
