In search of original owner

When I bought my TC #7057 I looked under the passenger seat and discovered two license plates, old and worn FDW 127. I assumed they were the originals that came with the car when new. I was told a young RAF pilot had purchased the car new after WW11. He eventually, apparently, moved to the Philidelp...

Oil Can on my TC

I understand that some home market TC's had a bracket located on the battery box which held a quart can of oil. Does anyone know anything about this?

tool kits and jacks

TC jack

I am looking to purchase a jack for my TC. I don't know if, back in 1948, you had a choice of manufacturers? Seems like King Dick or Shelly would have been the choices. I realize an original would probably break the bank so I'm searching for a vintage jack that would be very close to either the King...

Brooklands screens

I have TC # 7054 and have recently received a pair of Brookland screens. I have the idea I can install the mounting brackets for these screens on the lower windshield frame as opposed to securing the screen mounting brackets to the cowl. By folding the windshield to the horizontal position I can eas...

I have TC # 7057 and I would like to install wire stone guards on the headlights. 7" stone guards have been all I can find at a reasonable price, 8" stone guards run in to many hundreds of dollars. Does anyone know of 8" stone guards at a reasonable price? Has anyone installed any size stone guards ...
