Given the size of the battery, as large as the engine you almost have to wonder if this is an early Hybrid. Wonder how far and how fast if you put it in 4th gear and hit the starter.

Great!!!
i wish my tilly in the same shape. Hard work is before me. :-)

It took 6 years to finish this project. Time was an essential key, which I did not have. The last years a professional finished the restoration to a roadworthy vehicle. This year I hope to make it complete with some minor features, such as rifle clip etc.

How far are you with your restoration?

cheers

Looks superb Arjan, I have noticed you in TT. Do you know your chassis number to work out a serial number? Ron

Your Tilly is also a beauty.

Mine does has a WD-number. It's only shown at the rear and driverside. John Simpson of the tilly Register was so kind to figure it out from the chassisnumber.

Beautiful tilly, Arjan! Do you have Bart Vanderveen's Austin Tilly article (from Wheels & Tracks)? If not, I have scans of it, so just let me know.

John Simpson is a good guy. I've been in touch with him several times, and he was kind enough to send me some Tilly Texts containing data I was seeking. I in turn sent him my Rootes wartime document.
