Hi Wayne - what a ripper little vehicle you found. It is the sort I would like in my fleet. Well done.

Bob

Default Best sort of find

It'll fit in an ordinary garage, tow on a trailer, when it's done you will be able to run down to the shops for a can of beans in it, without spending your life savings on fuel, and while you are working on it I'd guess ever single part of it could be lifted by hand.

Nice.

Out of interest going back to the first post and the photos of this Hillman Tilly, does anyone know whether the vents in the side of the engine cover are early or late mods, as I have seen a few photos of Hillman Tillies without this, and one in the UK being restored without vents was built in 1942 (for the British Army).
