Only TRUE way of arriving at facts is recording details direct FROM vehicles, don't learn anything by continually copying stuff that was wrong 70yrs ago. You have taken on a very worthy and onerous task but would it not be best for ‘the cause’ to publish what you have, here, for all to see on the p...

Why did the dyslexic virus expert get the sack?

He didn't know his SARS from his Ebola

‘Winter’ would make sense as the last time the car was verifiable on the road was December 1983.

What would ‘summer’ thermostat be? Summers here typ 22° to 28°

The thermostat that was removed was rated at 195°F (which is about 91°C for cash). Does this seem right? The engine is a North American spec USHM3 with an induction heater.

Do any official Nuffield publications have this info?

Thoughts.

I’m going to stick my neck out and say I think they are handed...
One (the right) has a hole in the knuckled sheet. The left one doesn’t. This seems to indicate that the forward edge is higher than the aft edge.

I’m sure there is some criminal activity somehow, probably peeling the tax stickers off the plate, but I’ve not heard it mentioned in everyday conversation... The plates are pressed aluminium. Pre 1930 plates were ceramic fired clay! VIN vs Number plate. The “NS registered certification of ownership...

All that can be said is that they are better than no air filter. Maybe not even that? When I was an apprentice and had tarted up a 1976 mini clubman I was showing it to the lads at the machine shop and my old boss walked over had a look at the engine, pointed to the filter and said “I see you’ve in...

So implying restricted usage, namely the authorities are not expecting you to use it everyday (even if you'd like to) and, by the inclusion of this line, imply that your classic will loose it's 'antique status' / reduced tax / MOT exemption (a separate issue / controversial topic by itself over her...
