  1. I have a 1923 DB Touring and the gas gauge works fine. The gears are in good shape, however the face of the gauge needs to be repainted.Has anyone had their gauge repainted, by who, and at what cost? Thanks

  2. Hi All

    Just took my Aussie 23 touring for a short ride for the first time since I bought it. What a trip!

    There's a couple of things I noticed that I need answers to. Is it normal for a touring car not to have much power climbing a small hill in 3rd or should I have used 2nd? I'm not use to a 4cyl.

    Also, I noticed a skip in the engine. I plan on changing the plugs, points, rotor,cap,etc. That might not solve the skip but not knowing the last time they were changed it won't hurt.It could be a fuel problem, but one thing at a time.

    Can anyone help? Thanks

  3. Hi All.It's me again

    I've been going though the 23 this past weekend and discovered I have signal lights.

    There's a lever attached to the dash,when you push it to the left the left cowl light light. If you push it a little further it winds a spring and starts a mechanism that turns a gear which opens and closes a set of points that makes the cowl light blink. It' last about 30 seconds.

    My question is, does anybody know how early signal light came about? I remember them in the early fiftys, but this seems way earlier then that.

    Thanks.

  4. Hi all, Doug I thought about the ticket passing thru New York to late to turn around I'll send you a check. How much?Mind is going!

    Also thanks for filling in while I was sleeping Don't you sleep?

    John, Thanks for the info and the pictures and please post more.In the next few days/weeks I'll be looking the car over from bumper to bumper. First thing,get a new gas shut off valve, this one leaks. Second,Fix battery box. When I unloaded the car, drove it in the garage went to disconnect the bat, the hot post was a 1/2 inch away from the metal battery box. the battery could have very easily slid into the box causing a spark,and we all know where that leaking shutoff valve is located. Yep, a foot away.

    Today I put insurance on it!!!

    I'll post some pics. as soon as I figure how to.
