I wonder what the chassis number was? As it's a 1954, I imagine it started life as an interim cowl model before it was rebodied.

Unrelated, but Dad's Plus 4 was OYP575.....

I've used the panhard rod that replaces the bottom U Bolt bracket - I thought it a better solution than the one that attached to the spring.
