Dry sump oil tank

Even more from the loft: The dry sump oil tank. Oil drains in through the pipes in the top, and is pumped out from the bottom of the filter which extends to the full height of the tank. the pipe at the bottom of the filter sits snugly inside the outlet.

Battery box... in the loft

Just to prove why I'm called Lofty... A Sunbeam battery box (probably 20.9 but close enough) currently in the loft.

Petrol Auto Klean

It looks like it's Auto Klean time of year! This is a petrol Auto Klean, in good working order if a little rusty. It's a later model, probably 1930s and I was hoping the glass would be the same size, but it isn't, it's slightly larger. I'll hang on to it, someone will want it.
