This gets more interesting, DKV is a 1938 issued registration, in fact a week or so ago I spoke with a chap who had a 1939 Sunbeam registered DKV but 400 numbers later than my registration, my frame is recorded as 1954 Coventry which is correct for the issuing authority, a thickening plot perhaps? kind regards

Das Kleine Wunder, 340cc? Well, using poetic licence as their "W" sounds more like our "V". Nice number if it would fit but perhaps confusing to our German friends. Cheers, Don. Edited by - Don Madden on 30 Apr 2010 10:52:12 PM

Hi Don, certainly confuses me at the moment, but will continue to clarify it ,if possible, as you guys say 'it aint over ' till the fat lady sings' kind regards
ps it's a G80cs 1957 engine which is now confusing me even more because of the piston differences mentioned on the forum
