| I have owned the car since the late 1960s when my father bought it for £50. It was stood on bricks in a front garden, the last letter in the records is 1946 so no history between those dates. I restored it and ran it while I was at Medical School in London but had to store it when work and family intervened. When I retired in 2015 I started a full restoration…stripped down to the chassis and gradual working through components using Howell’s book. Everything was restored/ replaced..engine, gearbox, brakes, electrics, bearings. Wheels re-spoked(one is a modern replacement )and stove enamelled in red. Blockley tyres. I acquired one of the last Rique Llinares wooden tubs and it was skinned by Steve Gilbert, new bonnet, wings, stainless steel fuel tank, replaced the oiling system. So it is not the original body but everything else is unless unrestorable. It took 4 years to complete…then we had Covid. It starts and runs, recently noticed that the ammeter is not showing a charge so there may be oil in the dynamo. The hood and side screens were rotted and not fitted but I have the hood frame and metal frames for the doors. All the bright work is original and re-chromed. I have photos and paper invoices for all the expenditure ( I haven’t added it all up in case my wife sees it). The car was red when acquired but was black originally as it is now. New seats by Collingburn in grey rather than original red. It has LED lights and a trafficator system in the lamps. A diode replaces the third brush. I hope that’s enough detail. I am selling because no one in my family can store it so if I depart it will be a nuisance and better someone who wants it enjoys it.
