Unique Australian bodied Vintage AC
« on: November 10, 2018, 22:05:37 »
It was common practise in the 1920s to ship cars overseas as rolling chassis as was the case with car engine #3051.
Built in 1923 and shipping to Australia in January 1924 to the Melbourne distributor Mac Glashan Bros. and Ducketts and purchased by Mr D.E.Lewis.
The car was run around Melbourne Australia for the first few months with an improvised seating arrangement (photo AC1) before receiving a 3 seat Clover-Leaf body (photo AC2).
Car was fully restored in the 1980s (photo AC3).

The car is for sale I don't know if that has come across, plus I have extensive 1920s documentation as sample was in an earlier post.
On another subject have you picked up the CAV wiring diagram I posted, I can help you if your still struggling
