I'm going to promote some puzzles direct to the PAFW board to give a better chance for some different guys to get a rare point!

Here's the first!

Yes again - it's the Griffin No. 2.
But I have it from somewhat earlier than 1938 so have another go and see if you can get the date right (assuming, of course, I am right..!)
Still your puzzle.

Probably not quite as early as that, as that's when he built no. 1, but it may not be possible to ascertain exactly when no. 2 dates from.
It's definitely not as late as 1938, as by then the workshop he used to build his cars was being used by a boat-builder, so it must be somewhere in between 1932 and 1938; I would have thought 1933/4, but I don't actually have any evidence for that!

So I think I'll give you your point, call it solved and move it!

Well done.
