viv w Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) Hi Al,Thanks for your message, my Nash was a 261 tourer, but the car got turned into a pickup truck in the 50's. When I got the car there was a rear tourer section, but I later found out it is smaller dimensionally and probably from a special 6 not the advanced version. I have bought a set of top irons for the tourer body and would like to rebuild it as a tourer, but I am interested in your roadster rear body section as an alternative, does it have the rumble lid and any top frames? and how much do you want for it? Would it be possible to send me a couple of pictures of what you have please? many thanksRegards VivPs, I'm also looking for the cowl vent mechanism Edited September 4, 2014 by viv w (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsfarms Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Hello Viv,I sent along some measurements and (8 ea) pictures of my body tin for you to evaluate. I sent the pictures one at a time for your convenience. Have you received the pictures?Regards,Alan d. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viv w Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 Hi Alan, Thank you I managed to download them late last night. I compared the measurements this morning but sadly I dont think I will be able to use the tinwork. what you have is a Cabriolet rear body which is entirely different to the roadster. The cabrio had longer/taller doors similar to roadster but with roll up windows. The cabrio rear body is much shorter in length from the door to the rear fender. The body you have would better suit a guy who wants a rear section for a coupe. The belt molding is the same width as my Advanced 6 and I'm sure what you have is 1926/8. I've looked at pictures on the net, so far, I have not seen a 26 or 27 with a golf door, so my guess is it possibly is 1928.Alan thank you for offering it to me and your efforts sending me the pictures I do appreciate it, but I'm going to pass. Good luck with your project.Best regardsViv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsfarms Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Hello Viv,Thanks for the note. The rear tin will be used somewhere, but not by me either. It was supposed to fit my 1929 Advanced 6 but is totally different. Good luck on your search, I hope you can find exactly what you desire for your car. How far from Pretoria are you?Do you have an active group of Antique Auto enthusiasts to network with in your area? I am also involved with an Alvis project. Do you run across many or any Alvis cars, projects or parts on your side of the globe?Regards,Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
