Simon, somehow I hadn't noticed that the door was front hung! . John, are you able to expand on that rumour?
Thanks chaps, Terry. |

Hmmm ... I was overlooking the way the body continues back together with the external hood frame, so not a regular two-seater body. The painted headlight rims and half a windscreen wiper are, I suspect, just changes made as the years went by. Maybe the other wiper just fell off!

A couple of observations. The brakes look like 8” in the first pic, 12” in the second.
Also, in the first I fancy I see another post on the opposite side, possibly supporting a piece of pipe. In the second pic this post appears to be bent, and looks like a part of the chaps coat.
It looks post war to me, slicked back hair being one clue, the poles possibly a remnant of post war celebrations?
I agree however that it is an f1 or f3 with modified door ( the fitting looks a bit unprofessional to me)
Regards, Graham

J3458 has painted rims and I think they are original...
Cheers
