Napier 1914 Chassis Number 11167

With thanks to the Napier Power Heritage Trust the following information has been confirmed for the Napier.

Napier Chassis 11167 is recorded as a T68 Colonial with a bevel back axle, delivered 30 September 1914. The T68 is a 16/22hp with a capacity of 3,153cc (31/2 in bore / 5 in stroke). The records suggest 959 16/22’s were made between 1914 and 1916. The 16/22 was an evolution of the 15hp, which had a 31/4 in bore for 2,716cc.

I have yet to confirm engine, gearbox or back axle numbers as a matching set.

Part 5 includes a view of the protective cover for under the engine bay which is currently not fitted. The to the front of the car for turning the crank handle to confirm that the engine can still move and is not seized. The front half of the engine blocks is still in place with pistons connected to the crank. It is a bit stiff but it does turn eventually.
