Can anyone tell me the chassis number at wich the aluminium angle for the rear of the bonnet to rest on was replaced by a piece of wood. The S&V catalogue suggests that the change came in with the PB but I have been told that late PAs had the wood.
Barry Walker's old cat. states that the rear wood/rubber bonnet support started on PA 2210.
This by my reckoning was the 1,958th PA. With 2,000 PAs manufactured and 27 of them converted to PBs, this puts the wooden/rubber support very close to the end of the line.
Just as a useless piece of trivia - the Airline Coupes never did switch to the later style. Throughout production of the PA and PB, the aluminum section continued to be used.
