A stunning little Vintage tourer in presented in absolutely impeccable order throughout. The previous owners family had the car for 40 years. During this time a decades long restoration program was undertaken. Upon passing it on to the fastidious last owner a number of more recent jobs were undertaken as follows:
5 off new tyres
New Hardy Spicer prop discs
Replacement cone clutch friction material
New Gaskets and seals all round. Auto Vac overhaul.
Brake overhaul
New Chain and sprockets for Dynastart assembly (new brushes)
New front dampers
LED lighting.
A substantial amount of rewiring in cotton braided .
Fully serviced.
The car is finished in Grey over black with the paint being in fine order to show standards. To the interior is luxurious & comfortable brown buttoned hide covering the front & rear seats. The hide extends to the door cars & beige carpets complete the interior trim. An easily erected black double duck roof provides cover for inclement conditions.
Under the bonnet the car is in equally fine order with a well detailed engine bay in impeccable order. The engine starts instantly & runs like new; the car having benefited from a major restoration a few years ago & having covered few miles since. Fuel is delivered via the rebuilt autovac unit. An enormous Klaxon with a sonorous tone is bolted to the bulkhead.
Driving the car is a real trip down memory lane. The car is very very light & direct on the steering. taut in the suspension & a real pleasure to drive. The three speed 'box is easily mastered whilst the centre throttle gives a true vintage feel. The car sits on painted artillery style wheels & has a full compliment of brass instruments recessed into the dash original wooden dash. Performance wise the car is very similar. if not a little quicker then a comparable 20hp Rolls Royce.
A spare shell fuel tank is fitted to the running board & here is a fold our luggage rack to the rear. The radiator is capped with an arrow pointer style temperature gauge. The front shock absorbers have been rebuilt resulting in the fine ride the car gives today. The car is a delight to drive & is at its best around 45mph on leafy B roads where it comes into its element. It needs nothing more then regular use & is absolutely ready for the summer season.
