I presently own a 1925 master tourer , purchased through this site and am looking to buy a28 roadster.
The car i am interested in can be viewed on this web site. RETROLEGENDS in holland,i am based in scotland uk.
The car is very pricey but a trade in would sweeten the deal.
What is the availability of used parts paricularily with exhaust manifolds and engine blocks with the age corrosion of these parts?
Looking through various posts on this site,i see many owners have replaced there marvel carb with downdrafts, are they problematic on this model as i find my master carb works fine ,after rebuilding with guidance from this site.
One of the pictures of the engine shows the petrol feed from an electric pump soldered into the middle of the vacum tank ,retaining the outlet to feed the marvel,is anybody familiar with this conversion? I have always found vacum tanks to be the most reliable part fitted to all cars here in the uk,
Any advice would be greatly apreciated from owners of this model.
Regards
Alex
