IMMACULATE

This car is becoming very difficult to find in this original condition.

Rust and rot free and in remarkable original condition and only light surface rust now removed and treated. Full bare metal professional respray carried out in the original Regency red paint. All registered correctly in the uk with the age related plate and v5c in my name,
EXTENSIVE Restoration:
I have painstakenly enjoyed restoring the car having 45 years motor industry experience and I bought as a retirement project, with no expense spared. Now completed and its time for my next project. Unfortunately I don’t have enough space to keep or store this lovely car so must reluctantly part with it.

Thousands of pounds spent on new parts that could not be refurbished. However I have tried to retain as much of the originality as possible. The seats, dash and chrome are all original and have a nice patina and in excellent condition, some pitting on some areas of the chrome with a nice patina that I wanted to retain.
I am saying this as it is minor and the images don't show it.
Some of the new parts fitted are; full stainless steel exhaust and brackets , fuel tank, pipes pump, carbs rebuild, Continental tyres and powder coat wheels, floor boards, full braided wiring harness, brake pipes and hoses rebuilt pedal box and master cylinder, plugs points condenser distributor cap and braided H. T. leads, windscreen, wiper blades, battery, radiator hoses, tippers number plates, chassis stripped and painted. Full carpet set, new interior, new top of the range hand made deluxe double duck hood, with original side screens in very good condition , pre owned bluemels steering wheel and new boss. period correct, Lots of other parts too many to list.

The car drives extremely well indeed with excellent oil pressure and had a wonderful exhaust tone on the winding country roads, everything working as it should. More images and videos available.

I have put in over 450 labour hours to date however I only wish to cover some of my costs of parts and the purchase of the car as I have really enjoyed restoring this piece of motoring history.
