Great 1959 RHD Panhard PL17 Project SOLD

I bought this very rare RHD Panhard PL17 for a customer about 8 years ago with a view to restoring it for him but his untimely passing has meant it has sat untouched for several years and it is for this reason I am offering it for sale (for significantly less than I paid for it). It would not trouble me to put it together mechanically as it is totally complete but the bodywork is the stumbling block?, I do not do any of this in house. The previous owner, only the second, bought it in the early 60s and used it for many years before stripping it down to restore it in the 90s. During his ownership he purchased the spares stock of his local Citroen dealership in Edinburgh when they were giving up the servicing of Panhards. It has always been UK registered and has a V5C document.

The main shell is totally sound with good inner sills, firewall and floors. The outer sills have been cut into to check through the subframes and will need to be repaired, the rear wings are not great but the project comes with a pair of 'new, old stock' replacements. It also comes with a NOS bonnet assembly and front valence - everything you need basically.

The interior is in really very good condition, considering it is all original it is one of the best I have seen. The seats, door cards, headlining are all excellent and the project also includes a lot of NOS trim parts.

The engine has been completely stripped down and will need checking over before assembling. Everything is boxed or bagged. Whilst there is nothing wrong with the crankshaft, as far as I can see, I do have a NOS one that is available separately. The gearbox is fully assembled and ready to go back on the engine.

Some work has been carried out on the suspension and both ends are pretty much ready to go. The brake hydraulics will need rebuilding but, as with everything else, all parts are present. It will need tyres.

I think this offers a great opportunity to purchase a what is a very rare car in the UK at what I think is a bargain price. To find one in right hand drive with suicide doors is not something you can do every day.

Please call for more details or if you have any questions.
