Re: Alternators

If I am not mistaken, all SP250's were fitted with dynamos as standard at that time although many of us have changed to alternators now. Mine is fitted with a Metro alternator.

I can't remember whether the Beaverbrook car had this body or a Hooper body.

Re: DJ254 Body Construction Details

I am not sure whether Christian Demler in Duisburg has one. He is an SP250 restorer and very well known in Daimler circles.
