I have always assumed that an Exide 6volt battery was the factory supplied battery for all B & C series Vincents and dutifully painted up the reproduction post 1958 Silver Exide battery case, stuck a dry cell 12v in the repro case, put an Alton 12v on the Comet/Rapide and been a happy camper.
This was until I found a brochure for a Varley Dry-Accumulator MC 7/12 and looked closely at the spares list index.
I have never understood the battery pictured on M036.
Is this picture/drawing, on M036, of an early Exide? a Varley?
I cant find any discussion or threads on this Varley.
What can you historians explain please?
I do not want to be asked to leave the Vincent show field because I have chosen the wrong battery.
Thank you
Craig
