Factory service records are in error in giving the body as a saloon.
Jack Barclay sales invoice #506, 3 Nov 31: NH2740, open four-seater touring by Gurney Nutting & Co., Ltd., black with green hide, £800 (used), sold to H. Douglas Sprott.
Barclay had sold the car new to James C. Hill for £2150. Photographed by Charles Bowers 25 Jan 1930, numbers 10557-58.
Does anyone have either of those photos?
