1924 Bean Vintage Motor Car Project

Description

My next vintage car restoration project, a 1924 Bean Fourteen 2.4-litre... WANTED FOR THIS PROJECT: * The original radiator cap back, which after being on for 85 years some unscrupulous little **** stole off the car at the Brightwells saleroom on 12/12/09. * Spare Bean 14 parts, photos and literature. * Large open sports-tourer body (any condition, parts of or plans) to suit 4' 8" track, and lightweight cycle wings. * Set of large hub 21" Wire Wheels, either 5-stud bolt-on (same pitch circle as a Morris Oxford but larger centre hole) or Rudge Whitworth type knock-ons with ideas on conversion hubs for these. * Any Bean motor car advice! Does anyone know what mods were done to the 1924-26 hill climbing Beans or Francis Birtles Bean? Should I lighten the flywheel and increase the compression ratio for instance?
