This listing is for an original old "Andrews Monogram Automatic" Air Brake DASH TAP UNIT and is fitted with a "Standard Coventry" Union Jack emblem porcelain enamel badge. The dash face has light and dark blue cloisonne or porcelain enamel and most of the parts appear to be chrome plated brass. It has a turn lever to the front and rear push-on fitting for an air pipe etc. The dash plate is 2 3/4" or 70 mm in overall width and the whole unit is about 4 7/16" or 112 mm in overall depth and weighs 450 g unpacked.

I assume this English accessory unit was available for vintage cars and could be modified to suit different marques with different monogram emblem being fitted. This example is fitted with the removable Standard Coventry emblem.

The unit is used but appears to be in overall excellent condition with just wear and aging to the plating and minor damage to the tip of the rear air tube fitting. The lever switch turns and the porcelain enamel is blemish free on both the dash plate and the removable Standard Coventry emblem.

A superb original example of this vintage accessory suit ideally suited to a Standard Coventry but probably also suitable for most marques of English vintage cars if emblem substituted.

FIxed proper packing and postage, US$6.00 within Australia and Airmail postage anywhere else for US$10.00. I shall happily combine lots to reduce postage costs. You can see from my feedback that I'm regarded as a careful packer and a prompt shipper etc.
