"I have the axle nose piece, presumably from Chassis 686 (although this chassis may not be in existence), which was obtained from T. P. Breen Ltd car breakers in the early 1960s. Presumably T. P. Breen broke the car up?

Chassis number 686 and Ratio 13/55 can be clearly seen in the photos above. There is also the possibility that the nose piece ended up in Chassis No. 708 (also may no longer be in existence). See the number and ratio 708 15/53 stamped in smaller digits on the top flange."
