Description
1927 Clyno 10. 8 Drop Head Coupe with Dickey
Chassis number: 24301
Registration Number: UD998
This very honest, useable two seat tourer with dickey seat has recently been in Sussex with
one of our regular customers now deceased. He purchased it for £15, 995 from the Classic Car Cetre in Malton. During recent ownership the Clyno has been treated to a full service, improved and tidied wiring, some re-trimming work and discreet indicators have been fitted. He also undertook a full engine rebuild so the car is in tip top mechanical order.
The Clyno has come to us in good, useable condition and can be driven with confidence having coped well on the roads in rural Sussex. The car drives very well. it runs and steers superbly and stops very well. It is good fun to drive with right hand gear change and central accelerator. The Clyno is surprisingly squeak and rattle free with no unusual noises to be concerned with. The engine performs very well, as does the gearbox and the car feels strong and robust.
Prior to recent ownership, the Clyno was with one family in York for 57 years and it was
subject of a restoration during the 1960's. It was used as a round town runabout in York for
many years and whilst it covered very little mileage in later years, it was meticulously
maintained and work included new brake shoes, engine rebuild, new hood and new tyres. The
Clyno has a charming presence and true patina. The paintwork has aged but looks honest.
genuine and in our opinion shouldn't be touched. The Clyno is ideal for shows, rallies. Goddowwd etc but is also a collector's piece that may eventually find its way to a museum or
private collection.
The hood lowers & erects in seconds after loosening two thumb screws. The Dickey is spacious allowing for 4 passengers to be carried or ample luggage when travelling as a pair. It sits on cast artillery style wheels shod with 4 good tyres.
