This is an SU type D4 carb. It was used on relatively few vehicles in the
period of 1932 - 1939 including:
1937 - 38 Jaguar 1.4 liter 4 cylinder
1932 Lea Francis 16/70 HP 6 cyl.
1936 - 1937 Morris 18 HP QJ/QSHM Series II
1936 Wolseley 21/25 HP Series II
There are also some variations of this carb, but I have been unable to
determine the specific differences.

Subject: SU 1 3/8" downdraft carb.
I have a friend who has come across a single 1 3/8" SU downdraft carb.
Apparently the owner says it came off a blown J2 or J3. The carb has "SU
1987, D4" cast into the body. The piston has a neat oiler with flip up lid
near the top of the piston chamber to oil the dashpot. Looks like pre-war to
me.
Any idea what this thing fits? Any idea of its value.? Any interest in
purchase? I have digital photos of the carb if anyone is interested.
Regards,
Bob Grunau
