Then why does my NOS Smiths gear reduction drive, in the original box,
have a date of 1 July 1971 on it? Is this a retro copy of an earlier
version? From the many Bugeyes I have owned and seen come through my
friend's restoration shop, when the early cars arrived in un-restored
condition, they had the knurled nut. All the later cars had the hex nut.
