The 'gang' will chime in soon to identify and verify.....
I didn't know there were any early COE's this side of the pond,one other thing,I hope it was laquered!
All I know is...it's a pretty smart set-up,the bike's cool too!
It's certainly a rare beastie here.

Here is Bill Marlow's 1946 Chevrolet COE. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 3,750 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 3,750 | Hi Jock he rubs it down with clean engine oil and a rag, the water doesn't settle at all I've also heard of guys using steel wool and WD40. Not sure if a bare metal truck's a good thing,especially here with our climate,sounds like a lot of hard work! Maybe it's a WWII "left behind." Good point Tom, the south east of England is/was full of US bases back in the day.... In fact our 'premier' drag strip is an old US air base,now known as Santa Pod.
