Very original engine bay, with SU Petrolift pump The rust has really taken hold here
From The Sports Car - January 1937 Taking advantage of the demolition of adjoining property, Bellevue Garage and Service Stations Ltd, are extending their racing shops at the Wandsworth Common site. The new building are expected to be in use by the commencement of the racing season, when the racing department will be entirely separate from the ordinary garage and service department. A subsidiary company is being floated, with the title of Bellevue Garage (Racing) Ltd, which will deal exclusively in the tuning, preparation and servicing of racing and sports cars for all kinds of competition work at home and abroad. Mr W.E.Wilkinson will be appointed a director and will be in control as Gereal Manager. Incidentally, during the winter the full racing staff was retained, and will be increased for the coming season, With the moderntest-shop and up-to-date layout, the Bellevue racing shops will be amongst the finest in the country. During the winter much tuning work has been carried out on MG cars, including a Magnawhich was used by G.E.T.Eyston for long-distance record work at Montlhery some years ago. Several Alfa Romeo and Bugatti cars have also been serviced. During 1937 the Evans brothers will again be very prominent in speed events with MG cars. Dennis Evans will run the sprint Montlhery Midget, which has a Zoller blown Q-type engine, a lengthened frame and a cowled radiator. A special Magnette is being prepared for Kenneth Evans’ and Wilkinson’s personal use. This is an N-type car raced last season by various drivers who hired it from the Bellevue stable. The engine now has six Amal motorcycle carburettors, fitted with a substantial rod system of throttle operation. The chassis has been considerably lightened by extensive drilling of frame members, pedals, shock absorber brackets etc. An offset single-seater body has been fitted, which embodies some very fine panel beating and a tail ending in afine taper. There is only one main steel hoop in the construction and that looks like a piece of Meccano!
