Re: Slick Tyres
just another thought when i drove one of these 944s, on a cold morning it was common for the con rod in the compressor to smash a hole in the side of the compressor block casting, very good brakes on this model for its time.

If it's a 944 it may have been built in Glasgow. 944s were in production when I worked there in the early 60s!

Re: Slick Tyres
there was a 944 at finnings llantrisant depot that was i am pretty sure owned by a company named evans&williams from letterston near fishguard.it had been refurbished i think just for showing purposes,only rear wheels in those days steered the machine.
