Kigass and BTH CE6

And another couple of parts. Firstly a kigass. This one has the correct knob on it, not the later Bakelite one. It came complete with the pipes.

Then another CE6. I now have two, although I also have a spare CED6, but that will be sold at some point.

A couple more bits, but a lot of news.

Well there's a lot going on, but not much in the way of new parts. This Marschall Fuse Box is my only interesting addition. It's not actually correct for the car as it may not have had any fuses fitted when new, and if it did it would have had a Rotax fusebox. Still, it's a lovely period thing, and will not be seen anyway - I'll know it's there though :o)

The main news is that the radiator is on the way, that I may have a new correct chassis made instead of using the Sunbeam 20.9 chassis I have and that a kit of wooden parts for the body is on the way

The Rotax Cutout I'm getting

This is that later 1920s cutout which I'm getting. This is coming from Australia. If you have one of these and want to sell it, please get in touch using the contact page on www.vintagesunbeams.blogspot.com because I know someone who wants one!

Edwardian Rotax cutout

Here are pics of an Edwardian aluminium-boxed Rotax Cutout which I have just bought, I'm swapping it for a later brass-boxed one that's right for the Twincam.

Nivex petrol gauge system

Two more parts on the way: The pump (reproduction) and tank unit for the Nivex petrol gauge I bought at Beaulieu.

NOS Autovac

I've bought another Autovac. This one is in superb condition and has never been on a car. I think the pipe ends and air inlet on the top are later in design, but I can use period ones from another Autovac.

It's exactly the right size and the internals are perfect.

By sheer coincidence, after I bought it, I found out it was in Farnham, just 10 mins drive away from me.

Smiths Speedo, cranks and caps.

A few more parts for the pile... A Smiths 0-120 chronometric speedo. With a case from a Jaeger clock and a new face this will become a Jaeger 0-120 speedo. The Jaeger ones are incredibly rare. I missed one recently that went for a mere £150 - I was gutted :o) It's cheaper to make one!

There's also a set of rods, mains caps and camshaft caps. Fantastic.
