Description
1935 20/ 25hp with 7 rear seat limousine with coachwork by Barker.
Chassis GLJ56.
Originally built for Lady Boles and first registered 6th December 1935 (her picture still hangs in the National Portrait Gallery in London).
Ivory over black coachwork is very good throughout. Has large Lucas Biflex headlights; Notek centre spot lamp; twin Lucas ?klaxon? horns; off-side front wing single mounted spare wheel. Fitted division with sliding glass screen between passenger & driver compartments. Light cream leather bench seat & door cards to front with beige ?West of England? hide bench seat & 2 fold-up occasional seats to rear - will seat 5 (comfortable) to 7 (maximum) passengers. Walnut dashboard, cappings & trims; opening windscreen & ?pop-out? rear windows.
Engine bay in good order & largely original with some modifications for modern use such as twin electric fuel pumps, electronic ignition, chrome indicators to rear (original ?trafficators? present but disabled), full stainless-steel exhaust, large ?Sprit of Ecstasy? to allow for ribbons/ bows. Wefco gaiters fitted to road springs & Ace-type wheel discs all round. USB & charging points installed under dashboard.
Owned since October 2013 & used as a wedding car by me (& previous owner of 7 years). Ideal addition for collector, to existing wedding fleet or for someone starting out.
Price includes cherished registration ?WED 421? (original BYA 560 can probably be transferred back); mobile sales stand (banners need changing- approx £50 each) with 2 overhead spotlights & wheeled carry case; digital photo screen; A-frame poster holder; hundreds of 50mm pull-bows & ribbons (in various colours), lightweight garage cover; original Owner Handbook; some tools. Also available is a website, lots of photos & multiple wedding industry awards allowing for a ready-made business, if required.
Retirement & lack of garage space forces sale.
Serious buyers welcome to view (by appointment) and take test drive (as passenger). Can arrange shipment at buyers cost.
More photos & video available on request. I always wanted a vintage wedding car and sold my previous Silver Shadow II in order to fit this in my rented garage. "Violet" (the intage) is very popular as a wedding car, and turns heads even when visiting the petrol station! A bargain for any collector or someone wishing to use her for weddings.
