Preivously owned to Mr Peter Rowntree (of chocolate fame!)
Viking Engineering Developments overdrive unit (2007)
1,577 cc six cylinder engine running smoothly on inspection
The car has been enjoyed regularly, taken to shows and on trips including Cornwall via the M5
We understand the re-bodying of this was was undertaken in the late 1990’s by Gerry Wagstaff who wanted a body in the style of a 1930’s Bentley
The conversion was carried out to a very high standard by Vintage Carriages of Shaw, Oldham (letters on file), and the car still looks fabulous today
Good history file with numerous bills, previous MOT’s, letters, correspondence and copy of magazine articles relating to the car, from about 1970 onwards
