This came up on the VSCC forum. Someone asking what all the badges were, they were all identified, Here just for interest.
Did she suffer from overheating?

I have some of those from Dudley Cottinghams J4129, the name has been engraved on the rear of the badges, I wonder if these were engraved also and are still around ....or with this car if it has survived. I also have a second badge bar, similar to the lower one and also a horn which is not a standard one.

Is the large supercharger, not present in the early photo, a recent (!) addition or used in DE's time?

All three Bellevue Ns survive, apart from this car I n America one is in Switzerland and the other in the UK - the latter, BLL 491 - was the subject of an article in the 2009 Yearbook. A photo of the car in on the cover.
As far as I am aware the cars were not supercharged in period, currently BLL 491 is the only unsupercharged one.

Here is a very current pic of BLL492 with improved radiator air flow. This Marshall blower (and pre-selector) was added in the mid 80's when Chris Leydon rebuilt the car. It was also blown prewar, but after Doreen's ownership.
Continuing the female thread, current owner is Brenda Butler Benzar in Cincinnati who enjoys it regularly on the roads along the Ohio River. It goes well.
