Is this a 710 touring or a 711 phaeton? And what is the difference between a 710 & 711?

A few more.

Incorrect distributor
Oil filter and oil cooler missing
Incorrect water jacket side plate
Incorrect plumbing on power brake selector valve
Incorrect spark plug wires and method of attachment
Incorrect instrument panel fascia
No pinstripe

BDC, a phaeton has seating for 5, a touring has seating for 7 via jump seats. See below from the 1934 Eight catalog, both are on the same chassis (1101).

That coil got my attention with its unconventional high tension terminal on the middle of the coil, and the primary and secondary leads' with a ballast resistor. Some kind of a period 'high performance' aftermarket product? JWL

Now this car is bid to currently 51K and it says reserve not met how many more thousands will it take to make this car right?
