chris40 ◊ 2008-02-17 13:22	Voyska, I wondered for a moment but it's too big for a Cambridge. That's why I suggested a 12.

Link to "www.motorbase.com" Anyone with a good picture of a 1938/39 12/6? --- It seems the car-measles are catching: /vehicle_147321-Citroen-11-Legere-Cabriolet-1935.html

Alexander ◊ 2008-02-17 21:22	I saw that one, Chris, and thought, it might be a 14/6! The running board is straight like the one in here: Link to "www.motorbase.com" But the main car has roundish front ends, like they were used on the smaller 10/4. Does that mean it is a 12/4 or 12/6? I don't know yet.
chris40 ◊ 2008-02-17 21:41	Oh. Well, blame my laptop: I identified the St Trinian's one as a 12/6 ... but I still think both of them look smaller than the Goodwood. It looks as though the 14/6 has a wider front track, with wider wings and therefore a straight running-board to accommodate it ... that's my story, anyway! -- Last edit: 2008-02-17 21:42:47
