Any chance of a chassis no? Important if the owner is claiming 1948

I am not sure, but looking to the bonnet, it is not the short one....
looks like the '51 type, or do I see it wrong?

In that case it can be a 2 door high light, who is rebuild to a low light tourer...
An original lowlight is not possible with this bonnet, I think...
I know it from mine, who is also a '51 high light from its own.
But because I found also the lowlight wings and front, I have both options to drive with ;)

What is it with Frank and "oddball" Maltese MMs?!!

I suspect all Maltese MMs have formed a secret pact to disguise
their age JUST to confuse Frank!

The "IluMMinate"?

Mr.G.Knoll
Further investigations uncovered it was an inside job!!
