Chassis No SGT611C is one of just forty-nine examples built in right-hand drive to Design No 2045 by Mulliner/ Park Ward. It was originally finished in regal red with an off white hood and matching off white leather interior. It was completed in October of 1964 and supplied to its first owner Expertise Ltd of Juniper Hill in Surrey by Weybridge Autos Ltd. It was purchased by the second owner Mr D Pinto of Piccadilly in London just under two years later in July 1966. In 1990 the car was supplied by Frank Dale to the Hiyashi Museum in Japan where it remained until 1996 when it returned to the UK. At this point it was acquired by the present owner who took the car to South Africa on a tour before shipping it back to the UK where it has remained ever since. The history file documents all of the works carried out to the car during the 1990’s and beyond, some of which were extensive. We were approached about Chassis No SGT611C in more recent times and were asked to prepare it for sale. The works which have now concluded were extensive, with a full mechanical review taking place over several months. Following this, the coachwork was stripped back and structurally restored before being re-painted again in black. The finished car drives beautifully and looks superb. The total recent expenditure exceeded £100, 000. The car is fitted with air conditioning and comes complete with its handbook, copy chassis cards and a large history file documenting all the works the car has benefitted from. This model continues to gain positive attention, growing in popularity each year. Chassis No SGT611C is a superb example of Design No 2045 and is ready for the next owners continued enjoyment.
