Re: Daimler Conquest YPL 479
There was a similar car built on a Majestic Major chassis. Graham Frost bought it in a scrapyard and brought it up to Norfolk, about twenty years ago, for Brian Hills to scrap for spares.

Re: The time signal
No doubt the early owners of my clock would have been able to check the time with the local church clock. On that note I will call time on this diversion from the modern pips discussion.

Re: The time signal
My Eight day Longcase clock is 230 years old, and still keeps perfect time I check it against the pips now and then. Perhaps Neill can tell me if the weight of the lead weights ever varies and if this could affect the time keeping.

Re: New Acquistion
The owner of all those Daimlers in the field got me interested in Daimlers. They were all cleard some years ago by, I think, John Wentworth. One was left, an EL24, I took some photos last year. Sadly neither the car or the parts are for sale. I took photos recently.
