Firstly the "Chassis" number is stamped into the front inner wing around the right hand front suspension mount. This was actually the original engine number, and is probably one of the things that "officialdom" will require. It is also repeated on a seperate plate, usually mounte...

108E on e-bay

Copied over from the 'For Sale' section: Thanks, Michael, for pointing this out! No, I tend not to look at the For Sale section - I'm sure you can see why! I've sent this to the Editor of Sidevalve News, and will put something on the enfostuff site about it. Hi Ben, One of the rarest of 'sidevalves'...

You're right, stanchfi: it's vital to clean the grease point thoroughly before applying the end of the gun. Failure to do this will force dirt into the joint, which would rather defeat the object! The gun's coupling needs some firm pressure to push on to the grease point, but once on should grip str...

The wheel wobble you describe is common on this model at around 45 mph if there is a problem on the front end. Basically it is down to one or both front wheels being out of balance, but exagerated by a fault in the steering or suspension. Faults include: deformed tyre; buckled wheel; loose wheel bea...

The large rear screen cars - with all the mods - came in October 1957 starting around Engine (Chassis) No 4433499 Anglia) and 449408 (Prefect). Some changes (e.g. slimmer bumpers) came in earlier and, as always, there could be some left-overs from previous models. The small screen/three bar grille d...

Thanks for the compliments, Michael. No, I no longer have the black 107E Prefect, 926 BOA. I bought it as temorary transport in October 2000 until my normal daily driver (another 107E - I'm sure you're getting the picture! There's also another in the garage)) completed a major restoration over the n...

Jim Norman's 107E Prefect

This is by way of an introduction of me, as well as the Prefect.
