Description
Supplied new to the Tate & Lyle sugar empire by the agent Charles Follett. Subsequently purchased by a Mr. Heatlie in 1952, who took the car to Rhodesia then selling it in 1975 to a Mr. Knott who, as records show, still had the car in 2006, according to Alvis Archive information.
Alvis records note the car was fitted with a replacement engine is 1958. In 2010 extensive mechanical attention was undertaken to include works to the gearbox; electrical works including indicators; a carburettor clean; new tyres and tubes and some exhaust work.
Service items purchased and fitted by the current owner in 2019.
Original coachwork carrying a lovely patina. Not so many saloons survived due to the restoration costs and being turned into open tourers.
The car also has its original brown leather interior, now nicely mellowed and patinated.
A very original and solid unrestored car. Comes with an extensive history file and handbook.
Currently located in the island of Guernsey. Additional pictures can be sent on request.
