Not for the faint hearted

An example of the horrors that can sometimes leap out at you while cruising the internet - I would draw your attention to the man in the blue overalls about half way down.....

Is that an SP? 5 stud wheels, rear axle under-slung the chassis, seems to be GRP, windscreen though similar to an SP though not definitely. The indications it could be a special or anything in GRP from the late 50's /60's
Owner since the 70's, Genghis is slightly to my left.

Well known case: the owner destroyed this car prior to leaving the country.

A friend of mine is restoring the green SP.

I have met with Shaheen Abdullah and looked at his DHC.

I see my 104 Ladies Model is shown as a Conquest. I must send Wayne Kennerley the correct information.
The vehicle now starts, runs and stops. I am short a windscreen...

Thanks Darren. I will get onto this. I will be shipping a new chassis and other bits for my Citroen 2 CV before long, and this could come with these.

Is John Nash the man for windscreen rubber?

I appreciate your help.

John Nash should have the rubber may have a screen too, worth checking

DaveP also asked me to tell you that:-

the windscreen changed (or certainly the parts no.'s did) during the production of the DF310/1, but after what chassis no. Daimler have neglected to state.

The initial parts no.'s were 63/635100 (toughened) & 63/635130(laminated).

The subsequent no.'s were 63/635371 (t) & 63/635407 (l).


so would be worth checking all measurements in case there are any differences
