A very stylish and desirable early Continental, with lovely cutaway front wings, and generally light appearance, something which was lost on many of the later examples. As well as being very rakish and handsome, the coachwork is good and sound, with very good door fits, etc, and the louvred bonnet & scuttle and the rear-mounted spare wheel, add to its appeal. The paint is old and scruffy, but the car is nicely correct, and is  trimmed in golden brown leather. Running well, and we are told that the engine was overhauled some years ago, and has been little used since. Now re-commissioned, re-wired running well, and MoT tested until May 2011. A rare opportunity, and an ideal car to use as is cosmetically,  improving it as and when convenient. 

Chassis No. 4MS.                                Reg No. GX 8578.                            £95,000.

Snippets:  Zeppelins & Chocolates
