A rather quirky and appealing Sedanca de Ville, with charm and character.  The car started life as a Hooper Limousine, was re-bodied during World War Two as a London Ambulance, and in the 1940s fitted with the current body, which dates from 1929, and therefore very appropriate.  It has just come from the last owner, who kept the car for over 40 years, more than half its life, and it comes with a large history file, including four old style logbooks, the earliest dating from 1931! Nice period touches include the four-way divided windscreen, unusual wings, and original Windovers rubber step mats on running boards. Retains correct 21” wheels, with Ace discs fitted with recent Dunlop tyres. Runs well, and appealingly different! 

Chassis No. GTM2.                                 Reg No. UV 261.                            £29,500.
