Bought a clean original 1924 Roadster-a bit disappointed in road speed...


Recommended Posts

Ive had 2 twenties DB touring cars  and never thought they were a dog on the road. In fact I bragged a DB  would run the ass off a T model the same vintage. So Last fall I bought a 24 roadster, very nice condition  original. It starts , shifts ect perfect. Im disappointed that  it likes 35 MPH and anything over that  it acts like Im ringing its neck. Did they have different gear sets  in the 20s?? Where  is it marked on the diff?? Mike

If I am reading the master parts book correctly it does seem like a change for the slower occurred in the 24 production. An earlier ring and pinion would fit and high speed ones have been made.
