CHASSIS NO B19GP

ENGINE NO N7BU

REGISTRATION NUMBER CXU304

A stunning restoration by all the right people (Maggs Vintage, Steve Penny, Guy Waler Etc Etc) to like new condition. Since then the car has covered just a few thousand miles. The engine is utterly silent & starts readily off the advance retard lever even when cold. The hood in addition to being a high quality mohair example also has a beautiful blue lining making the cabin a very snug place to be when the roof is up. All in all this is a super example in like new condition & wants for nothing. You have to see this car to appreciate just how good it is.
