This thread needs an update.
Was offered another 1928 16/6 Burnham for free as a parts car, picked that up on Monday and yester day picked up the remainder of the parts, forgot to take damn photos mutter mutter.
An 80% to 90% complete car with 2 engines and 2 gearboxes though missing some important bit but havent delved into the inside of the car which is fully stacked with spares.
I only needed 3 very minor parts for my existing car, 2 X back window lifts (winder handles) and 1 X an intermediary connecting part for the passenger's door lock so ended up with far far more than I need however the car really is too good to be just a parts car so I am looking at either restoring it to original or more excitingly I am looking at the possibility of fitting an electric motor as the drive unit maybe from a Nissan Leaf as these are easy to find and whilst not hyper powered offer more than 3 times the power of the original 40 HP petrol unit and there is loads of spare space for batteries in these by a factor of more than 3 for a modern chassis.
Plus there is the coolness factor of pulling up into an EV charging bay in car park in your 1928 Vintage car and watching the looks as people try and work out what the fu@k is going on.
The original thought was restore the 2 spare engines into one however this would be very expensive and quite a few of the needed ancillary parts like auto-vac, generator and god knows what else seem to not be there making the restoration a potential nightmare.
