My 1934 roadster has an early January 1934 serial number which shows on the driver side front frame and on the clutch housing. I bought the car in 1995 from one of the inheritors of a small, now extinct European car museum in Spring Texas.
Several of the unique things about the car are:
The serial number includes the number 40 where American made cars show 18.
The brake system is the 4 rod rear, 2 rod front type.
It has 2 latches on each hood side but the firewall sides look like they had been modified as they are a just a bit wavy when you examine them closely.
The air vent on the cowl and the front and rear bumpers are the 1933 style.
I'm not aware of any other differences but I wouldn't be surprised if there were some.
