Re: early v8 rhd chassis #s
'Trafficators' were not unique to the U.K., nor was the six-rod braking system, but the presence or absence of those might help narrow down the possibilities of where the car was originally sold. As for its manufacturing origins, there are really only three possibilities in terms of where '35 phaeton bodies were manufactured, namely Australia, Canada, and the U.S. and very likely it is not of Australian origin unless part of its floor is constructed of wood (the Canadian and U.S. bodies had all steel floors except for the toe boards in the bottom of the cowl).
