Description
A handsome, well-proportioned and sound car, cheerily finished in yellow & black, with delightful, mature brown leather interior. Appealing touches include louvered bonnet & scuttle, twin side-mounted spare wheels, ‘trouser crease’ wings, and twin, scuttle mounted, pivoting spot lamps. More interestingly still, the car is discretely fitted with variable, adjustable electric power steering, which works very well, nicely reducing effort input required at slow speeds for parking manoeuvres, etc, but when switched off, retains the correct 'feel' of the original set up. Thoroughly recommended! Tools with the car include wheel spanner, mallet, Dunlop No. 10 jack complete with correct, two-piece handle and mounting bracket, starting handle, valve tool and various small open-ended and box spanners. Sold by us 25 years ago, and just back from the same family, a lovely car, well maintained, driving nicely. The history file includes records of considerable maintenance and repair work over the years. Offered prepared, serviced and newly MoT tested.

Chassis No. GRW62 Reg. No. AGH 753
Snippets: East India Co. & an Italian Title.
Gustaaf Miesegaes exported GRW62 on the SS Phrontis from Birkenhead to Batavia on the 6th of May 1933. The Miesegaes family have long been associated with the Dutch East Indies having been involved in the trading empires of the East India Co and MacLaine Watson & Co. In early 1934 Gustaaf married a young Scottish girl Noel Vera Orr and their honeymoon was spent at St. Moritz – they celebrated their 1st anniversary at the Palace Hotel in St. Moritz & the Bystander described her skiing outfits as being “dark green and ribbed and the accessories are scarlet”. They divorced within a few years and Noel later became a titled lady - the Marchesa di Salinas. By 1947 GRW62 was back in the UK for a short while before it was exported to America.
