Welcome to the Forum - tell us more about your car
Join the RSR - the parts list/and workshop manual it publishes may help a bit as will its library. Body parts will be more difficult especially since these were even more handbuilt than the rest of the pre-war model range

Hi,
We took our 1936 12hp tourer to Norway last year with Country Lane Tours.
The chassis-up rebuild was finished in 2001 and I found the 1936 Parts List the most useful guide. I have some photos and drawings of various cars and parts and will be happy to advise on any specific queries. I also have a sizeable collection of spares.
Autosparks can still supply a wiring loom, but you will need to specify appropriate wiring for double-dipping headlights and double stop/tail/number plate lights. I kept the Startix system (which I use on 'hand' all the time) and have spare units.
By the way, where did you get the figure of 72 from?
Best wishes,
David Moseley
