That's got to be a early one as from 1913 they were factory fitted with twin humps and a water cooler

Well that was my first thought too Al, it's very rarely done well, but the engine and box is a good spec, some good results, but then Mr Pickering is rather good in the passenger seat, if it was nearer id go for a look, the de seeming would put me off but your well into over 10k to build a car like that with that spec

Unlike Coys who, on the basis of that description, SHOULD give up and get someone with some knowledge and understanding to write their listings for them perhaps?

So not a 1071 head, and probably not a 1071 gearbox (unless it's a very early one with the rumoured 68 gearboxes)
