Rugby

   STOP PRESS

The photo right  is a  1924 rugby    (see 'what car is this ' inside  )  Dr Henry Pang  (internet aquaintance)

    I also looked at Greg and Kay Shuker's  (Capricornia Club member) 1924 Rugby photo (we met them at the Capricornia Games) and it seems to be similar.

    I did also look at Sid Sempe's  (we met him on the MT Morgan Rally -   a Capricornian )  1928 Durant  (Rugby was an Ausralian Durant)  But  Sid's  radiator is very different.

    From the photo we have on the net and in the Library  The 1924 Rugby looks to be the front runner ………… tubby.

ANY ADVANCES  on   1924 Rugby  ?

     John Mcbeth had a Radiator surround in the back of the Chevrolet  and he pulled it out so that I could photograph it.  There were a few thoughts

About what make of car it was from, but nobody (that we asked)  could  identify it with any conviction.

      It seems that John found a car, and had dragged it home including the bits and I was invited  around after the meeting to get a few photos .

     I am not entirely sure that John is not  getting a little bored now that the Chevrolet is on the last stages of completion. But John  never told me anything other than  he has a found a good few parts and would like to Identify it in case the bits are useful  to someone.

The Radiator surround  a useful piece for Identification

The Chassis

O.K. Folks me and  our  Editor have  done our bit by getting this page in front of you -  and If it not enough to identify this vehicle for  John McBeth . Then I shall  take some leave and Join a knitting Circle

                                 Tubby

We have a  mudguard amongst the pile of tin,

Not all of it is anywhere near as good as this

But it should help towards the Identification purpose.

A closer look at the remains of one of the wheels  gives a look at the brakes.

One Radiator that looks like it might even hold water
