About This Motorcar
The car underwent a complete body-off reconstruction after being purchased in 2021. Once stripped and sandblasted, the true condition was revealed, and the owner chose to do the job properly. The body and chassis were rebuilt, rust was removed, new floor pans were fitted, the heater channels were replaced, and the chassis was treated with rust-proof paint before the car was resprayed in its correct period colour.
Mechanically, the original 1200cc engine has had a major service, a new exhaust, rebuilt electrics, and replacement parts including the starter, flywheel, regulator, wiper motor, battery, and cut-off switch. The car has also had a new clutch and pressure plate, brake work, kingpins, tie rods, and new tyres all round. It remains on its original 6V system, keeping the character correct.
