A ‘proper’ vintage 20hp, tall and upright with character. Converted to an estate car by Cockshoot’s in the 1930s, possibly used as an ambulance, and much later - probably in the 1980s - was converted back to the current six-light configuration. The history file, as well as a considerable number of invoices, old MoTs, correspondence, etc, also includes three old buff logbooks, including the original from 1926, which is very unusual. Features such as  correct nickel lamps, 20” wheels, including twin side-mounted spares, vertically divided windscreen, scuttle-mounted side lamps, etc, all add to the vintage charm. MoT tested until December 2010.

Chassis No. GOK49.                              Reg No. CJ 8878.                            £32,500.
