Description
This lot will be auctioned via Classic Car Auctions, The Classic Car Sale at Stoneleigh Park 2024 on Saturday the 28th of September, Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire, CV8 2LG.
Oozing French Riviera 'Chic', the Caravelle Convertible was not cheap when launched in the UK at £1, 296 compared to £700-£800 for a Triumph Spitfire
However, they were never likely to appeal to the same buyers, with Caravelle owners often associating themselves with the stylish commercial jet of the same name
Finished in Starmist Blue with a black interior, this smart example has benefitted from an older restoration
Fitted with an 1, 108cc four-cylinder engine mounted in the rear and offering just 55bhp and 89mph
Owned by our vendor since 2003 and remarkably just two previous keepers since 1965
Supplied with an interesting history file with previous MOTs and some old invoices detailing ongoing maintenance over the years
Accompanied by not one but two hardtops, one of which will need to be collected by any potential buyer from the seller once sold
A rare and often overlooked 1960s classic that's stylish, easy to maintain and just a little different
