Tillies

Your Tilly is also a beauty.

Mine does has a WD-number. It's only shown at the rear and driverside. John Simpson of the tilly Register was so kind to figure it out from the chassisnumber.

Beautiful tilly, Arjan! Do you have Bart Vanderveen's Austin Tilly article (from Wheels & Tracks)? If not, I have scans of it, so just let me know.

John Simpson is a good guy. I've been in touch with him several times, and he was kind enough to send me some Tilly Texts containing data I was seeking. I in turn sent him my Rootes wartime document.

Ah! Arjan, I was worried that you didn't have a serial number and I also have the list to work it out. It looks even better from that side with the number in place. Ron

I read the book of Mike Shackleton "Tilly Colours". In this book I found some pictures where Tillys only have two places where the WD number is painted (driverside and rear). I did consider painting it on both sides of the bonnet...

The Austin has a bridgeplate now also.



Cheers,
Arjan

I was lucky I could buy the complete Wheels&Tracks. But thanks very much for the offer.
The Tilly Register has a website, which I "webmaster". I receive often email about new found Tillys or questions. Some manuals are digital available on the sites about the Tillys.

Cheers

Yes hard work to make digital manuals.
If I will find any free time I will make anothers digitals copies, the same as for 8AP.
