I am happy to report that I have purchased James Mumford's M type as advertised in the November Bullentin. ( no. 2M2305 reg VU4037) Any history of the car would be welcomed. I have to thank David Stansbie and Philip B-P for their help in this purchase
The car will be shipped "roll on Roll off" like the "Raid " cars were two years ago. Thus it will be on the docks both in the UK and in New Jersey for several days. The car has no tonneau, so I have arranged to have one fitted near Mr. Munford's home by a local trimmer. I will go with double duck as it seems right for a 1930 car. I am aware of the limitations of this fabric
I would asppreciate if anyone has any hints or suggestions that I should pass on to the trimmer before he makes the tonneau
thanks

Mike,
I am familiar with two M-Type tonneaux, both of which you would have seen on the "Raid". Mine is in two halves,joined with a zip,the driver's side one being slightly wider. I could give you dimensions and photos if you like. When not in use either or both have to be removed to go in the boot. The one on Tony Margel's car is a rather better arrangement,as it rolls up and is held by straps when not in use, staying on the car, and is therefore quicker to deploy. No doubt he could provide more details.
Good luck with the new car!

Well, that's the first nice thing that Mr Haine has ever said about me!!
My tonneau, 30 years old now, was also double duck. The outside is somewhat faded now - due to the torrid Summers that we have over here! and it is still quite waterproof.
As John said, mine is zipped up the middle - I don't find that a problem when driving.
I can e-mail you some pics of how it folds up if you wish.

Hi Tony, I have asked John to send details of his tonneau and do appreciate your offer as well.Please email them. The trimmer will get the car Monday. I am sure both of you say nice things about the other all day long, you just can't hear each other over the roar of those lovely MMM engines. All the best
