Hi Nick, the liner is marked "BMB" for "Briggs Motor Bodies" and is British.

I would be concerned about the painted interior though.

Cheers, Ade.

thanks Ade

the interior does look fresh compared to the rest of it also is that chin strap ok ????

[NickD]

i think the liner may have been taken out as the screw on top looks to have been messed with ????

[Adrian Stevenson]

The liner may well have been out. Earlier screws were different.

The chinstrap is the later simplified MKIII. Early ones were sprung loaded.

Cheers, Ade.
