VDP BOOK - SOURCE
James Fack dec2018 - I can now fill-in the following for you:
Ch. no: 33632; engine no: AW 231; reg. no: APA 440.
Del'd: 11/32; reg'd (in Surrey): 11/32. First owner: G.G. Wood, of Weybridge
All this, in turn, makes the car 1932 and not 1933. this was the prototype AW 90 VdP Alpine tourer - which is what it was, being the only one to VdP design no. 776 rather than 846, and having the shallow rear-hinged doors to to prove it.
It used exactly the same VdP body as the prototype AV 105 tourer, to design no. 776 and featuring shallow, rear-hinged doors. Unlike the former however, it had a Wilson 'box - as Mr Wood's letter to 'The Motor' makes perfectly clear.
