If this was allocated in the normal run of things, the car was therefore registered within the early months of 1936. The 3.5 litre engine was sold until 1937 although the 4.25 litre engine was available from March 1936. Bearing in mind the length of time taken to build and fit the coachwork, it seems unlikely to have the larger engine, but the car does not appear in the BDC list so I am not certain. Coachwork next.
