Youngs towing is what was painted on the side Keith

Have had a bit of a sand to try and find the ARN on the Sigvan today

The best i can guess is 96951 with both 9's being questionable possibly 8's or 0's

Engine number is wr3815505

Has anyone got ARN records in this bracket with details ?

Guessing about a 1936 Hudson 8
Straight 8 .Pity there wasnt more left of it and that it is on a far extremity of my work area
And one of what it might have looked like originally

Started the next phase of projects today
They say neccesity is the mother of invention but in my case it is just a distinct lack of money
Any guesses ?
Hint is that it is upside down
