Given that the cast wheels were removed and it was fitted with pneumatics in the 1960's, and the new 'blow up' rubbers on the front on David's photos it looks like the latter.
I believe Simon cast some fronts for it, but not the rears.
D Valve told me that they always considered it slow whe his father had it (I guess because the rear wheels were smaller), even with the C type gears on it. Has it been geared up in the meantime? Last time I saw it it looked like it had bigger rear tyres.
