alsancle Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 (edited) This car represents a number of great things all rolled in to one car. Great elite chassis, custom body, provenance, condition, and the sympathetic refresh to make it a usable. I have no interest in this car other than somebody else needs to buy it so I don't end up doing it.

edinmass Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Buy it....it's the only early car I know of that doesn't need any sorting. The hands that were placed on the car for its overhaul are true craftsman's. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, looks like a Stewart speedo, but without the speedo wheel. Odometer only? Maybe to avoid "Are we there yet?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bloom Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 AJ, thanks for bringing attention back to this great car. When It was first posted with the option to follow along as they went through the "freshening" up of it, I began following it and reading their updates. I have really enjoyed it. I love the video's that have gone along with it. Good luck to you and Ed with your negotiations on split ownership. If you've ever witnessed Ed behaving poorly and have video/pic evidence, use that to your advantage as you hammer out the details....perhaps there are no past episodes of Ed behaving badly.... In my education of this era of great cars, help me out someone, I often see those headlight lens with the vertical orientation and a purple hue..........what is the story/manufacturer of those? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never behave poorly........I have had some exceptional adventures where a throttle was stuck wide open on a few cars while test driving it............ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JV Puleo Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 They weren't purple to begin with. They are probably Bausch & Lomb lenses (RR also used them) and the glass has a lot of lead in it. They turn purpleish with age. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always understood that it was the manganese content in old glass that cause the purpling when exposed to light, not lead. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JV Puleo Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Might be...I don't claim to be a chemist or have any qualifications as to the mineral content of glass. In any case, the lenses weren't originally purple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got to digging, never a good thing when I’m left unattended…. https://sciencing.com/glass-turn-purple-7183982.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
