When I bought ' Denzel ', a 1935 P1 '10' hp barn find, I noticed a badge on the first Luvax junction that I had'nt seen on any car before. Denzel is totally original, never been restored and is like a time capsul, having spent all its years during the war ( and after ) in a Scottish barn, and subsequently in the back of a garage in Swanley, Kent where I obtained it.

This is an indicator badge which reads " FOR PRIMING PURPOSES ONLY USE ENGINE OIL " and was attached by the bolt on the first junction in the pipeline that sits on the bulkhead scuttle just below the vacuum pump and oil reservoir jar..... these junctions often had a threaded plug in one of the bosses, which may have an oil nipple as a replacement, I would imagine that this information plate was fitted originally with the oil nipple. I have gone out on a limb and had ten made by a local firm, I need three so I have seven for disposal, the cost to cover my expenses is £35 + £2 p&p to RSR members, at this price there is no profit to me . I intend to sell whats left to the public at £40 to help me with my threes costs. If anyone wants photos, I am happy to forward, ( 1 ) original as found,( 2 ) original and new plate. They are made in brass and are identicle to the original.

I have sold one of these Luvax plates or ' tags ' as he described it to an owner in Austraila, one was fitted originally to his 1935 ' 14 ' , also another to an owner with a 1937 car which also had one . Interesting that I have'nt come across one of these before I obtained ' Denzel ' .

There are only two tags left, four have gone to Australia. Chris

Sorry Folks, All brass Tags are now sold. Chris

There is obviously a market here Chris, if I were you I would start taking orders for your next batch and do some more advertising.

I am taking advance orders for five of the above badges, my original batch sold out very quickly, half going overseas. Once I have five orders I will commission these with the manufacturers, so let me know by email or phone, price is the same.
