It’s been cleaned since I saw it under the trees on the farm!

I have photos from during its restoration in Queensland, including body upside down on the jig. They were on the web years ago but I don’t know if they are still there. You can see that the car has a modified bonnet with 2 additional air inlets below the windscreen as well as the slot at the front

Tim, thanks for replying to Mark. Sorry for using jargon

It looked as though the rear suspension had had some work as the trailing arm pivot castings appeared new. Otherwise we were kept away by the barrier seen in Tim’s photo

LR155 is still in the heritage area at WS, has it been there since the last auction?

Won’t the effort applied to each drum be different?

The 3 points are not in a straight line either. My hazy recollection of welding is that the join is stronger than the pieces joined

3D printing, would that work?

Peter, as an example the 3670cc Aston Martin straight 6 in the DB4, fitted with 2 HD8 uses UN needles in 0.125 inch jets. I see the Daimler used UB for a twin set up on a 4500cc straight 6, and UL on a twin set up on 4500cc V8

I wonder if the Bentley 4800 cc 6 cylinder might be the closest analogy to your LG6, using UC or UD needles?

Also do you have copy of the SU needle profile chart ALT9201 which is said to have advice on choosing alternative needle profiles

Peter, do you have access to the SU catalogue? If not I may be able to help. Which type of 2″ are you fitting?

Interesting by the way that Michael Frostick attributed this car to Leacroft of Egham or was that construction only not design?

Simon, I’ve had a look at the other images you’ve kindly put up and am still not convinced by the car’s lines, it doesn’t have an “integrity” about it but is a mishmash of pre-WW2 themes by GN, for example the additional “hips” and unnecessarily large spats round the rear wheels. And those rear corners look really vulnerable. ..

The radiator aperture is straight off a Fox & Nichols car, to my eyes slightly (very?) Incongruous

I’m not sure if the image does the car justice, especially the apparent slant to the sills which to my eye gives it a broken back look, and the pinched look below the front wing tops which give the impression the top of the car is wider than the chassis, which of course it may well have been. I think also the aesthetic might have been improved if the radiator aperture had leant back abit rather than appearing to lean forwards

All cars need “some work”! Even those new from the factory today…

what about 101?

Thanks Simon, exactly right location. I suppose it will simply dissolve in time. Is there really nothing worth salvaging?
