An unusual and appealing Hooper-bodied, early MKVI, in correct, unmolested condition, recently out of long-term storage. The semi razor-edge design is rather attractive, with narrow ‘letterbox’ windscreen and rear window, flared doors and handsome  profile, set off nicely by the rearward leaning ‘B’ mascot. In sound condition, running well, and offered newly serviced and re-commissioned after its period of slumber, but retaining its cosmetic originality.  MoT tested until February 2011.

Chassis No. B2CF.                                  Reg No. 127 XUS.                                  £24,500.

Snippets: 

First registered at Coleman Street, London.  St. Stephen’s Church was built during the 12th Century & was destroyed in the Great Fire of 1666.  Christopher Wren rebuilt the church during the period 1674-81 & the small spire was crowned by a golden vane in the form of a cockerel.  The foundry of James Bartlett supplied many of the bells required for Wren’s new churches & cast a ring of 8 bells plus the Clock Bell for St. Stephen’s.  The church was demolished after it was bombed in 1941.
