! ! ! ASK TO SEE THE WALK ROUND / DEMO / DRIVE / UNDERSIDE VIDEO ! ! !

A ready to jump in and use today vintage motor, it’s a cute as button and is guaranteed to make you and everyone who see’s it smile, lovely old car that has had serious money invested.

1937 model, starts, runs, drives, stops and turns exactly as it should, we have the current modern logbook and over £8000 of invoices for works completed by the previous long term owner, including a £2600 engine rebuild and over £3000 on the hood and interior. Please ask to see the video, it shows everything you need to see.

Starts first time every time with excellent oil pressure, fitted with an upgraded SU carb, it keeps up with modern traffic on the local roads, pulls well uphill with 2 adults onboard, 4 speed gearbox with a good clutch, brakes working as well as expected with a good handbrake, recent new radiator fitted, the oil and water are in the right places and the right colours. Very solid underneath, no undue play in the wheel bearings, no buckled wheels, again please see the video.

Extremely well finished inside with a full leather re-trim and new mohair hood and matching side screens, plenty of room behind the seats to store your picnic or weekend bag and the side screens and hood cover. Dash clocks and gauges working, as are the dash / footwell lights, the trafficators pop out and all the running lights have been updated to LED, much brighter and less load on the battery, the purist will be highly offended by this modern intrusion, but it would take less than half an hour to put old filament bulbs back in.

If you want to chat about owning and driving a vintage car like this, give me a call, I’m a straight talking Northerner, no condescending comments if you’re not familiar the controls and driving style, no mouth full of marbles, I’m just happy to run you through owning and enjoying this little gem of a car in simple terms and happy to make you an instruction video to help you get going. Yes, it will run on modern petrol.

The car will be 86 years young next year and has signs of age and use to the panels and bodywork, it will be well received at any event and is perfectly fine to carry on being used as it is for many more years, it as awarded 3rd place in a local show on the 24th Sep, but an opportunity to further improve the car in your custodianship would be to repaint it, in my opinion it should stay as it is, an old car with aged charm.

Well presented, excellent mechanics and interior, full weather gear and a smile every mile, what’s not to like ?
