Description
One of only 10 1942 Cabriolets thought to survive. The subject of an older restoration, the car presents beautifully in Chetwyn Beige, with a tan leather interior and a dark tan top. The paint quality is very good, with nice panel fit. Being a very prestigious car in its day, it's well-equipped with a radio, heater, power vacuum windows, power operated convertible top. Don’t let the V12 frighten you, it’s very simple and indestructible and runs like the proverbial Swiss clock. To drive, you only have 3 gears to worry about and gear-change is smooth. Absolutely everything is available. I broke the quarter winder and back-plate – which are a special colour to match the paintwork, I remember being devastated and thinking that I would never find another. Two emails later, I had two. Remember the engine and running gear were used between 42 & 48 and therefore all the parts are plentiful and surprisingly cheap. I recently replaced the 3 brakes hoses and the master cylinder in under an hour!
