'F1' Type



The first 'F' types were called '12/70 Magnas' and were only retrospectively
known as 'F1s' after the introduction of the 'F3s' that shared the mechanical
improvements of the 'F2' (e.g. the 12" brakes but not the 2-seater body).
Some 'F1s' may have been modified by the factory to 'F3' specification later,but 'F1s' originally had 8" brakes and either the Tourer and Salonette bodies
as fitted to the 'D' type Midgets or were supplied in chassis form for special-
bodies
to be fitted. Quite a few 'F1s' have been rebuilt as 'F2' replicas.
