Yes, the front and rear mudguards were painted silver, matching the side panels. The front brake was a twin leading shoe.

The engine was technically advanced for its day.
It had double overhead camshafts, twin carbs and used torsion bars instead of valve springs. It was red-lined at 9,500 rpm.
Even had electric start.
