This is my final repair after using Paint Shop Pro 4. I like the contrast in the photo. It took me some 2 hours to fix, well worth the effort. The photo is a bit under quality because of scanning from the Polaroid shot. Paul never had a 8X11 picture of his 23 T-Bucket and proudly shows this one hanging on his garage wall.

This car, built in 1914, is the only fully restored Valveless in the country. The Valveless car was manufactured between 1908 and 1915 by David Brown Gears of Longwood, Huddersfield. There were four versions of the Valveless, but probably only a few hundred were made. The benefit of a valveless engine is that it has fewer working parts than valved engines. It is typical of pre-WWI cars: large and expensive; chauffeur-driven; hand crafted. Valveless cars were comfortable, quiet and smooth-running. These cars were so rugged that as a result of a collision between a Valveless and a Bradford tram, the car suffered a scratched wheel but the tram had to be towed away with a broken axle-box. This car was found in South Africa and was restored by David Brown Industries Ltd.It is on loan from the Adam Brown Trust. The museum’s Transport Gallery also has a Valveless engine rescued from Waterloo, near Adelaide in Australia. It was returned to Huddersfield by the National Motor Museum of Australia. Information from the museum website.
