Exilegaas,
You are right of course, I always thought that was what lay behind the VSCC make and dating policy. Somewhere in an early Bulletin, I thought there was an article on this philosphy, but I have been unable to locate it. After the WS crash, first cost became an imperative and the most noticeable change in 1931 was a decline in dash-board instrumentation, followed by heavier and heavier bodywork and the use of recycled steels. The worst thing about post-war cars was the adoption of so called IFS to improve ride comfort. Having learned to drive on a Riley, I remember driving through the Highlands of Scotland in a borrowed Standard Vanguard. It was independant in every sense of the word !
Chris.
