Description
Series V - 3 Ltr straight-six. Goodwood Green Metallic with full beige leather. Auto, In Very Good Condition. Leather is complete with no tears or loose stitching. As it left the showroom in 1965: Selectaride, rear screen demisting, original reading lights, seat belts, radio etc. Spare wheel and jack. 3 previous owners. Was part of a private collection for 37 years. Has been extensively restored. Drives very well. Comes with both workshop manuals and receipts during my ownership. New MOT last month. Just been serviced. Bought as a retirement present to myself nearly 6 years ago.
Today, the Imperial is a rare car with around 4, 000 built and only 70 still on the road. Hugely expensive to restore properly there are very few good ones left. Vinyl roof, fully reclining front seats, automatic transmission and hydrosteer power steering as standard. The car also featured electrically adjustable rear shock absorber settings, a separately controlled rear passenger heater as well as many smaller amenities such as individual reading lamps and walnut finished fold-out tables for the rear seats. It also has walnut dash and door cappings. It has straight six, 3 litre OHV engine with twin Zenith Stromberg carburettors with reputedly a Harry Weslake tuned cylinder head. It is an easy and relaxing car to drive.
