Re: 1939 DE27 for sale

Mark is right that it looks like it’s missing a carb. Normally the 27 would have two downdraught su carbs, but the Ambulance had a single solex. Could this be the carb we see in the pic ?

Re: 1939 DE27 for sale

Just to say I had a reply from Brian Smith.

He had heard of this car, but nothing of its provenance.

He has passed to Peter Ruifrock to see what he knows.

So far , nothing from the Auction House.

Regards

Re: 1939 DE27 for sale

Strange story, but you never know ,,,

I have had a quick look, and cars were shown from 1945.

Eg 51294 is listed as a Hooper body 9223 registered 11/45, sold to Daimler.

Seems a talk story but,,

I’ve emailed the Auctioneers for their material, and emailed to Brian Smith to ask his opinion.
