Hello Bob,
Thanks for an interesting reply.
From what you have said the car certainly seems to be a 12/24 model. Clearly, in 1924 the sales department found that there was still a demand for an entry level 2 seater model KK 12/24 . The type MC 2 seat coupe had the luxury of wind-up windows and was much more expensive.
Of course the model KK would be much lighter and probably the best-performing 12/24 of them all - so perhaps the crafty sales team used a KK as a demonstrator and then persuaded customers to add the luxury of the type MC at an extra cost, in much the same way that low cost airlines advertise a basic service which is almost impossible to buy!.
By the way, front wheel brakes were an optional extra in 1924.
Looking forward to photos.
Cheers
Colin
