To the dash is a full quotient of period instrumentation in addition to a St Chrisopher fro good luck which may well be needed if exploiitng the cars full perfomance. A full length split mohair tonneau cover & hood complete the ensemble. Charles A Vanderveld (C.A.V.) switch gear is fitted to the dash board. Adorning the radiator is a genuine original Vauxhall Griffin with beautiful relief detail to it.
All in all this represnets a superb rare high perfomance edwardian that would not be out of place in any collection, or may simply be used for spirited road use.
