Description
Lovely low mileage example very original and very charming just as it is and driving exceptionally well , A highly original example , with the first owner for 70 years First registered in October 1937 and showing only five keepers from new , having been with the prior owner since 2021 and the previous owner for 70 years . the brand RW Maudslay established in 1903, but his Coventry based firm proved so successful at turning out durable, well engineered machines at modest cost that they were soon among the top six manufacturers in the UK. This smart Flying Ten was first registered in October 1937 and comes with a generous document file which includes original advertising, an original lubrication chart, handbooks, instruction manuals and a spares catalogue. We are led to believe that its first owner kept the car for 70 years, owning it from new until 2007 The indicated mileage still reads under 50, 000 miles from new which is thought to be correct. In 1991 , 2 the car was given a comprehensive restoration a job which entailed fitting new plywood floors and partially stripping the car for a professional repaint in Allard Grey. The wings came off and the front end was stripped and carefully prepared , supported by photos on file. As can be seen, the upholstery is nicely patinated and the car has been running and driving exceptionally well as though its a few years old rather than getting on for a century old charming and quite engaging to drive this cars charm and drivability creeps up upon you and gives great pleasure .
