A correct, running chassis, complete with radiator, louvred bonnet, dashboard, instruments, engine bay ancillaries, etc, etc, and in fact consists of more or less everything that the chassis would have left the factory with in 1935. Fitted with a temporary seat to enable it to be driven. The engine, L9M, is the original, and runs nicely. When new, the chassis was fitted with an Arthur Mulliner saloon body, and was owned by George Bernard Shaw. Comes with a buff logbook from the 1950s, which will enable the original registration number to be re-allocated when the car is completed. 

Chassis No. GHG39.                            Reg No. BYE 779.                          £15,000.  

Snippets: George Bernard Shaw, born in Dublin in 1856 & moved to London in 1876 where he became a music & theatre critic & a prominent member of the Fabian Society.  His literary career began with “The Quintessence of Ibsenism” but he is best known for “Pygmalion” which was renamed “My Fair Lady” & made into a film.   GBS was some 79 years young when he bought GHG39!  In later years the car was used converted to a hearse and was used to transport the son of the then owner to & from Motorcross meetings!
