Most of the Snobmog production run was exported. Export cars got the TR2 engine, UK spec cars had the Vanguard engines.
Mine is a UK car which was imported into the States circa 1969 by the late Bill Fink and then returned to the UK circa 2007 in very poor condition.
Even though they are a 4 seater they are actually built on a 2 seater chassis.
With a new body frame and panelling, I'm probably 10 grand down already but the end result will be worth it.
Arwyn Does yours have a boot, or exposed spare wheels?

Arwyn Does yours have a boot, or exposed spare wheels? It has a boot. The 4 seat Drop Head Coupe production run was from 1954 to 1956 Around 1955, the factory changed from a trunnion chassis to a shackle chassis. The difference being with a trunnion chassis the rear springs are secured within a trunnion tube running between the chassis rails. With a shackle chassis the rear springs are secured in shackles. Twin spare wheels would usually be fitted to a trunnion chassis and secured to the trunnion tube by a vertical post welded to the tube and a cast alloy clamp. Therefore it would be perfectly feasible for a very early 4 seat DHC to have twin spare wheels Arwyn

The ex-John Macdonald DHC is no longer on the Car & Classic website and I see it was re-taxed today so presumably it sold.

The earlier debate about Dixon Smith's DHC is settled in the latest Miscellany. Turns out it's a 3-seater! ![[Linked Image]](https://tm-img.com/images/2023/12/02/2023-11-Miscellany.png) With regards to the John Macdonald car, it has now been relisted on Car & Classic, still at £58K. Car & Classic
