johnfromstaffs ◊ 2019-07-02 21:32	Small boot model, 1949/52. From the angle of the main picture it is not easy to pick the year or the size of the boot, and I do quite frequently get them wrong. The car appears to be a genuine Dawn rather than a converted Bentley as the line of the bonnet fits the angle of the radiator, and the steering wheel controls look correct for a small boot model, there are three levers spaced evenly around the centre boss of the wheel, the later models with automatic choke only had one positioned at six o’clock. -- Last edit: 2019-07-02 21:52:36
