Search time... Is the a Prewar Triumph club in England? I know there's a guy
working on similar vintage Triumph in Central NY, but I don't have his
address. (Andy, Rik?)

Often found somewhere on one of the front chassis extensions. Mine, on the
front of the right dumb iron, was filled with grunge, and painted over. Once
I knew where to look, scraping away the paint revealed it. MG also stamped
the car number on the bonnet hinge, and the back side of the dash (wood), in
addition to various numbers on other components.

I beleive I now get to happily relinguish the position of owning oldest
British car on the B-C list. (?) Altho, still the oldest running, for now.
:-)
So, is it time to start a pre-war sub-list, to trade tales of the old ways?
