It was a special order, right-hand drive car in Trinidad Red and was collected from the factory and used extensively for family trips between Germany and the UK until 1964 when it was registered in the UK • The car broke down and was stored in the garage in 1974, it was fixed and then never used again. Purchased by our vendor after 45 years in storage in the hope of bringing it up to Concours condition. Extensive work was carried out and all original parts sourced and fitted but, due to ill health, the car is now offered for sale • There is a little rust bubbling around the headlights but the rest of the car is immaculate and the body is solid and all rustproofed and under-sealed • Supplied with its original green logbook, many handbooks, brochures and charts, all original purchase documents, MOTs and Tax Discs dating from the 1960s to the 1970s Lot Details Reg: BLR 331B Chassis no.: 82340 Odometer: 64,734 MOT expiry: Exempt Consignor: Richard Greenhalgh Telephone No: 07948 152921 Vendor Condition Report: Overall: 108 / 135 ««««¶ More Details Lot 844 Bid On Lot 844
