1. HY6504
2057, HY6504 seems, with a bit of research, to have been quite a significant vehicle as from what I can make out it was the first Bristol J, but I’m open to correction. It’s a lot older than it looks, being new as early as 1932 as a demonstrator to Southern National. It was rebodied in 1945 with this BBW B33D body and presumably fitted with a PV2 radiator at the same time. It lasted until 1958.
