OTAV Cyclecar by Stefan Marjoram

This O.T.A.V. started life as a much larger car but was later converted to a 'sporty' cycle car. It's still in the early stages of being rebuilt but looks great already.

 

LOL. Love that car but it has to be the oiliest rag of all the oily rag cars!!

 

I suppose it beat walking , riding a motorcycle ,bicycle or horse in the rain. I noticed how people dressed in the early days of motoring. My grandmother told me her mother mentioned how fortunate my grandmother was ...because my grandfather had a closed car when they were courting. A Model A Ford coupe .I think we loose sight at how close folks lived to nature...even in urban areas.

 

I guess you are right about that. Early Morgan 3 wheelers had no hood at all.

Love the OHC's.

 

No details given from an event in the 1970's

 

I guess that is a GN chassis special. I have a copy of John Bolster's book "Specials". It's a great read.

 

I have that book as well.

I've never seen one of these before and I've never seen a 4 banger with throws like this either. So what would be the firing order for this crank? It could be 1234 but I doubt it.
