The B47 is a rare version of the rare B17 ‘Sprinter’ - the narrowest
/lightest B17. The oval badge is pre ~1955. The B47 was only produced for a few years around 1950 and is lighter with some Aluminium bits rather than steel. Those alloy bits were more prone to failure -> increasing rarity. That one on Ebay is in pretty amazing condition, unlikely to see another one like it. If I was an eccentric millionaire I’d buy it - probably why I’m not any kind of millionaire!
