My late father J.D. Gordon owned chassis XR3347 from 1928 to 1953. He was also the first owner of this car.

I have now discovered photographs which completely overturn the history of the car. It was evidently originally built, we assume by Harrison, as a two-seater with drop-head and dicky (rumble) seat. Here are four photos in this guise, in which the hood irons can be seen.
