Hello, Rod and Dick.
I have also been trying to trace Mike Zimmerman, apparently he competed in my ex Leonard N type AYT 197 in the 1950s. I would be very pleased to be able to learn more about my car’s history from that period and would much appreciate contact with Mike.
Many thanks,
Chris

| I have seen JJ 5117 on flying days at Old Warden on a number of occasions. I believe it has a supercharged EXPAG engine. |

JJ 5117 is listed as J2084.
Mike Zimmerman used to own an N type with similar body, I may be wrong but believe it did have a supercharged XPAG engine. It also had a name painted on the bonnet side, the body colour was red. I cannot recall the name!

I have checked the files - the N type is NA0703. It was painted black, had “The N type Special” painted on the bonnet and a supercharged XPAG engine.
I believe Mike might have sold the car to Phil Cornut?

| JJ 5117 pictured above has a side mounted Eaton supercharger, a T type front axle and P type brakes amongst other things. I had a nose around it after spotting an oil cooler mounted below the radiator. It is listed by the DVLA as a silver J2 manufactured in 1932 but registered in 2012 and has a 1250 cc cylinder capacity. Note the exhaust pipes on the "wrong side." (unless it was DOHC which it is not.) |

If XPAG engine then exhaust is on the "correct side"!

| Wrong side for an MMM, unless it is a DOHC |

For Information :-
Thanks to Dick Morbey I have had an interesting telephone conversation with Mike Zimmerman. Super chap to speak with, however, unfortunately I had been given some false information and he hadn’t had any contact with my car. It seems there must have been some confusion with Mike’s own N type as mentioned by George. (See above.)
Thank you,
Chris |
