if my memory is correct there was a detailed description (iwhen the car was still in the UK) in the JOwetteer many years ago which would be well worth reprinting if anybody has a copy . the mods were extensive & possibly included an Austin 7 front axle & maybe chassis as well.

I have two very large (15" x 12") black and white photos of 'Myra' sent to me many years ago by the then owner, Colin Davies of Brackenfell, SA. He sent them after buying some spares from 'Ferroll Ltd' which takes us back to the early 1980's, I think. Myra didn't have a full windscreen then, just two aeroscreens
Have scanned them but due to their size have lost a little around the edge on one of them

On the same theme, here is a photo of 'ART 2" which lives in Canada - another Bradford which defies identification as a Bradford but is just soooo smart! Chassis is D7/CBL/6759

Come on now!!

Let's not have too many pictures like this or there won't be any 'Real' Bradfords left in the world.

I bet they are great at hill climbs - with a bit of ballast!
