The Automobile - two vintage Sixes in this months copy

Chris Jaques 4/5 seater tourer is for sale. One of only two that survive it was restored some years back. Gavin McGuire has it on his website but no price is shown. It's a lovely vintage Six . For video, see here:

Also in The Automobile, the 2/3 seater registration Z1348 has resurfaced (Page 10). It was known to be in Ireland. An interesting car, likely a 12/35 on bore size. Here's my note from ACtion on it:

14330 (Z 1348)
There are comments in the vintage register questioning why this 1928 car has smaller capacity liners
(56mm cf. 65mm) within an orthodox two-litre engine and suggesting there has been a modification
for convenience, availability or taxation limitation. However, for 1927 and 1928 the factory offered a
12-35 hp six-cylinder 2-3-seater. The taxable horsepower being 12 hp, the engine size 1484 cc and the
bore size 56.3 (56x100). I suggest therefore it is highly likely that this car is a 12-35 model and that
outwardly it would show no differences to the 2-litre Six. Autocar wrote about the model in April 1927
and The Auto in November 1927. Registration number Z 1348 has not been seen for some time.

I believe its a magazine which, as most magazines, has a web site https://www.theautomobile.co.uk/
The magazine doesn't seem to be produced in digital format.
