This car was wrecked, and the mechanicals are being used in our current

| This is
our 612 roadster. This one is a little bit of an oddity. it has a wooden
firewall, though the lines on the bulkhead look factory, there is no
vent in the top of the bulkhead, and the top and bottom of the doors
are rounded in the english style. It also has a wooden dashboard with
a hole for the standard instrument panel, and another hole for a glove
box (See picture 5). It also has big center wire wheels and these didn't
come out until the long chassis 612's on 1930. When we purchased it
we were told it raced in Queensland sometime in its history. This wouldn't
surprise us considering the condition it was mechanically. We pulled
the motor down 7 or 8 years ago and hung up the timing chain on a nail,
it is still in the same triangular shape. That motor was seized that
solid. This one is still awaiting restoration, my wife is getting keen
to get this one started
