According to factory records this original RHD example was built on 3rd April 1950, to be registered to its first owner, a Mr. Scott of Darlington, under a week later. Mr. Scott was obviously keen to get his hands on his new sports car!
“Elspeth” was acquired by our vendor back in 1969, who proceeded to set about a sympathetic restoration of the car, which included attention to the ash frame. Originally finished in black, the TD is now presented in red with a tan leather interior. The engine was previously rebuilt by marque experts Xpag Engineering, bored and stroked to now 1350cc, and usefully now also accepts unleaded fuel. We understand the car is “on the button” and drives exceptionally well for its age. The convertible roof has been replaced, as have the tonneau and side screens.
Offered with original 1950 buff log book, current V5, a large number of invoices, older MoT certificates, also correspondence and photographs documenting works carried out, what a great ticket to shows, club meets and tours, or simply a charming way to get around in the summer months.
This classic vehicle will be coming to auction with Dore & Rees Auctions on Saturday 21st September at the Castle Combe Autumn Classic. For further information please contact the Motoring department.
