Registration number FGB 696 (not registered).
Chassis number 7411112.
Body number 1112.
Engine number TBC.
This P2 was purchased by our vendor as a donor car for FAC 312 in the late 1970's from a Mr Stanger of Waterthorpe in Sheffield which he unfortunately said was a Sports Salon (four light) not a saloon (six light). Bought unseen it was delivered to our vendors garage where it became apparent very little of the bodywork was transferable between the two. It had been in storage for five years and some work undertaken on the body. Only 725 examples were built in 1947.
Still needing restoration FGB 696 is sold with no paperwork apart from a letter from Mr Stanger.
For sale by auction on Saturday 4th November at Sledmere House, Sledmere, Driffield, YO25 3XG commencing at 12 noon.
