Interesting scratched postwar grafitti on steering wheel "K Sharpe" ?

Looks more like a C15. Early one with the non wooden steering wheel too. Interesting to see how they painted the entire wheel by the looks of things. Did you get the chassis number Andrew?

OOPS ... Right you are
Has been a long day
The 15a was up near the shed
Funny thing i had been on that property before and i didnt see this one
Didnt get the chassis number
Instrument cluster surround had no data plates
Had supply number of 8442 -1942 ? under bonnet
Appears to be a late front clip
Engine number appears to be PR511595 ?

The under bonnet number is for the chassis type which should be 8421 which is for a C15 - perhaps the bonnet or front shell has been replaced. 8442 is the C60S.
