Re: Newbie question
A big thank you to all who have troubled to reply to my question and to welcome me. It does indeed seem a friendly forum.
Thanks especially to Dave in Australia for the technical reason why the brakes are as they are.(wife and I are going to Australia in October for the umpteenth time, and I shall be going to Bathurst!!)
In response to John Butt in CT, mine has the Nominal 40 horsepower engine same as in the USA; Model A's made in England had a smaller 2.2 litre engine of nominally 24 horsepower because the tax laws in those days favoured a small engine. These cars had the throttle pedal and brake transposed so that the throttle was in the middle. Although even the small capacity engine was large by the standards of the time over here. Mine has no other extras. Although it is a 1930 model, it is fitted with a 1928 engine, indeed, I have the Danish registration documents and these shows that the car has had two engine changes in Denmark. What old they have been doing to it!?
