This automobile was purchased new by my father in Pennsylvania, has
always been garaged and faithfully cared for. Never smoked in. Engine is
original, runs beautifully- no smoke. Engine, brakes ( 4 wheel power
discs ) and mechanicals have been maintained by British car
professionals. November 2016 I had first new clutch put in, new heater
box hose, exhaust manifold gaskets, oil cooler O-rings, reworked front
engine stabilizer w new rubber bushings, and some minor wiring and hose
updates. Also, with this ‘doctor’ visit , New : Valvoline VR1 racing
20w /50, transmission fluid, brake fluid, and coolant. Muffler and
exhaust pipe replaced in 2012, and correct Vredestein Sprint radial
tires have less than 200 mi. Original black leather bucket seats – no
splits- w fold-down rear center armrest , paint (original exc front
fenders), chrome, interior surfaces, headliner, etc., are all in
outstanding condition.Dash is NOT faded as it appears in photo, sun
glare. AM-FM radio, cigarette lighter, interior lighting, instruments,
all in good working order. With four-wheel independent (w DeDion rear)
suspension and twin carb ( SU,s ) high compression engine ( 124 HP ),
driving is a true delight. I am selling only due to the challenges of
storing. I will tell you that this car garners attention wherever it
goes due to it’s condition and rarity. I have had it to numerous shows
and gatherings over the years and I have never encountered another one.
In May 1967, Car and Driver Magazine said….”Absolutely the best sedan
that has been presented in the pages of this magazine. We think it’s an
automotive milestone.” This unique British marque is in need of a good
home.
Bargain cool.
Gorgeous car. Condition looks to be excellent, and the price is attractive. I always thought of these as the miniature Jaguar Mark 2. I was amused to read that the "Ice Alert" warning light is burned out. Basically, it is a temp sensor on the front bumper that lights a warning lamp if it is below freezing. Probably was a useful feature in the UK, but up here in Ottawa, that damned light would be on steadily from Dec to the end of March.
