From a deceased estate

One of two supplied to the American Embassy in London, in use there until the end of Joe Kennedy's tenure in October 1940
This is the only survivor of the two embassy cars, with the other being destroyed by fire
Sadly the original Lincoln V8 engine suffered from a cast iron version of woodworm

Running and driving as it should, unique in RHD form, with an interesting history
