Most of the typing and formatting and some of the fact finding was done by me (Wayne Stephenson) from original sources but a lot of the research and fact finding was done or double checked by Carhistorian from numerous reference books that he owns. Stepho-wrs 22:49, 11 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

@Mr.choppers:. For the RK/SK, which followed the SG, which followed the SB (all with single rear tyres), you might be interested in these period brochures:

Lovely; although I imagine you have already scoured these for any additional information!  Mr.choppers | ✎  01:38, 26 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
