Wrong side of the pond? Surely a matter of perspective...

Thanks for highlighting this ad Rich.

There is no record of the Registration number JXN 934 in the Register and as such this could be a "new" car! I am trying to find out more and maybe Lew Palmer could shed some light?

At first glance this looks like an NB - it has the correct door hinges and grill. The dashboard does not help as the centre panel might be from a T type?

It seems to have carried PZG 675 as well at some point in its life?

California replaced the yellow/black characters plates with black/yellow characters about 1963.

No doubt it's an N-type frame, given the sub frames under the running boards. It's been modified with cross bracing. I've requested the VIN.

I am attempting to acquire this car, so please don't jump in on me.
I have received a photo of the engine number which clearly belongs to an NB. I will post more information as I receive it.

Best of luck with that, Lew.

The cross tubes under the chassis look interesting !

Lew,

Sorry to read you did not succeed in buying the car. I also received a photo of the engine number which shows it is not a twin breather block as fitted to the NBs.

I have not been able to get any indication as to chassis number.

But, on study of the photos, both breathers can clearly be seen?

Dear Forum:

As we are limited/ reduced to photographs and little history.
Why the extra metal bracing on the chassis ?
Crash damage is my first thought.
Plus other loose ends.
Makes me think this maybe a project too far.

All the best.

Is a project ever too far- certainly not this one!
I think this looks a mostly complete NB at a very reasonable price.

I have now seen a clearer picture of the engine number stamping which shows the stamping 164 indicating a twin breather engine. Sadly the engine number does not show up on the data base so the chassis number is still unknown - Lew is trying to get the information.

Looking again at the pictures in detail does show the scuttle is as for the NB. This coupled with the door hinges/radiator/engine type indicates the car is a rare surviving example of the 2 seat NB of which only 92 were made.

I do hope the new owner plans to rebuild the car to it's original spec - some very original Ns have unfortunately been rebuilt in the style of a K3.

I certainly agree with Rod.

George
