I was interested to see they fitted the flywheel before fitting the crankshaft! Also the chassis was painted after assembly (including the radiator!)

Yes, I also noticed the chassis painting and how they had to clean off the radiator afterwards! I didn't realise it was done like that.

What a fascinating film! They strayed the chassis after fitting the chrome radiator! So labour intensive.

Thanks for posting.
