Unusual Makers - I Here to Give You Guys Answers Myself

06/08/2008 10:59 PM

Looking to start up discussion to help people find the references they need from Automotive Magazines on anything to do with a car so if you restoring a car this may be the perfect place - I Have looked on your site and most cases on obscure makers or unusual makers there is nothing there - I here to help you and the readers

You might be amazed what I can find

I wait with baited breath for a discussion (and hope the moderators are not threatened by my resource:) )

Cheers Julian

Hello carmagreviews:

I need a tubular steel bolt-on push bar/lite bar for front of a 1996 Dodge Neon.

Need additional lighting, will mount fog and driving lites

Thanks

You are in the Wrong section mate - I realised after I joined this site that this site is more geared to the autmotive engineer which I am not! I am a Automotive historian I found out about this site by guy called Moose who is another Kiwi.

Please note guys and some gals on this site:

- I am not in parts business I tell people where articles can be found in magazines and in case of your situation I have not seen a article from 50 plus magazines I have reviewed over the last 34 years a DIY advice of how to do it and where to get parts for your 1996 Dodge Neon (US magazines i have documented are Car & Driver, Road & Track, Motor Trend and Automobile Quartely (which is more book..)

The type of question I was expecting Hey I have Moretti from Italy- this is car I own can you give me some references or names of others who own a similar car as myself

or a more in depth inquiry

Reader query (will call him John)

Hey I heard of an early 1922 Bentley 3.0 litre Chassis No 141 Discovered as Barn Find in England in 1987 and was awaiting restoration I believe it was a tourer/touring and then converted to a Woody Station Wagon (Estate) I later heard it now exsists in Australia.

Can tell me about the car and reference to that article/s

Me: Yes John the reference is:

Thoroughbred & Classic Cars (GB) 1987 SEP issue page 18 Volume 14 Issue #12 in the Discovered section

The car was first registered in England new as Reg XM6761;it was built on a short chassis bentley ; and the first owner was Dr RO Ward in Sept 1922 ; The car should have according to Bentley historians Engine#190 but has #62 fitted which was never issued to a new car according to late Michael Sedgwick ; The car as of 1987 was at the Donington Museum awaiting restoration; story by the late Michael Sedgwick

The car was originally a tourer/touring then converted to a Tow Truck then a Woody Station Wagon as found

The Car was competively raced initially by its 2nd owner Captain John Duff at Brooklands in 1922 (and is Ist Brooklands Race Bentley)

as regards where it is in Australia?

See Unique Cars (Australia) 2006-2007 20 December-23 January Page 134-138 issue 268 "Day and Might Australia is home to the Bentley that started a legend" by Paul Blank

The car no longer has the Woody Station Wagon body and has returned back as a tourer/touring with replica bodywork by Peter Fry of Perth Australia and 2006 was owned by Peter Biggs in his museum

I hope this helps

Cheers Julian
