A bit later than 1919 too by the looks of the barrels

Yes Graeme, The Models up to circa 1923 did not have a spring leaf forward from the seat pan to the top bar. The seat was mounted in the upright bar pushbike style. The carrier may be right as the Tool boxes on WD models were much longer would you believe to carry a spare tyre. Can not see recent available tyres fitting in box though. It worries me when I see unrestored Dougs  hitting these sale prices.
The Kingaroy Doug rally is fast approaching My entry is in the Doug is waiting attention and the decision on what other Dougs to take. Any way those attending will be glad to see you there.

regards Alan
