A
clean and appealing example, needing some minor attention to paintwork but with
a lovely interior, quite recently re-trimmed in blue-grey leather to a very high
standard, and with excellent headlining, carpets and woodwork. A very appealing
feature is the large sliding sunroof, which gives the car another dimension.
All correct in specification, and complete with a good proportion of its
original tools. Mechanically good, running and driving well, and offered
prepared, serviced and ready to use.

Snippets:
Ordered by Francis Churchil Still, a lawyer whose clients included
Imperial Tobacco Company & John Lane, who was the publisher & founder of
Bodley Head Ltd. This little known
publishing company began in 1887 with Lane & Matthews as joint partners, by
1894 their partnership had been dissolved & J Lane continued as a sole
trader with Bodley Head until his nephew Allen Lane Williams joined the company
in 1919, however this was on the condition that Allen’s family change their
surname to Lane which became a mouthful to say the least – Allen Lane Williams
Lane! John Lane died in 1925 &
Allen Lane then went on to create Penguin Publishing.
A later owner, Arthur Pomroy Sainsbury was a fashionable West End dentist
whose hobby was “treading the boards” in his home town of Horsham.
His second child was Peter Sainsbury who became a director of the Medical
Research Centre & an advisor to the World Heath Organisation on the subjects
of Psychosomatic Disorder & Suicide. In
1963 Peter Sainsbury & his wife Ruth moved to Bosham which is best known for
being the burial place of his daughter Gunhilda who married Henry, the son of
Conrad II, Holy Roman Emperor.
