johnfromstaffs ◊ 2022-01-06 08:58	Not a Goodwood at all. 1940 to 47 Twelve. 6,000 built, or, more likely 1945 to 49 Sixteen. 36,000 built. Identical bodywork, but 1525cc flathead in the 12, which could barely drag it around, or 2199cc ohv in the Sixteen. Unless the bonnet is open, or you can read the tiny badge on the grille, you can’t tell. 12, 40bhp pulling 1225kg. 16, 67bhp pulling 1372kg. No contest. -- Last edit: 2022-01-06 09:39:47
