Description
This car was sold new in 1962, and the first owner used the car for approximately 20 years. Thereafter, a woman bought the car just in time for her 18th birthday, when she passed her driving test. The car was used by the woman for a few years and was then sold to her brother, who is the current owner. The car was last inspected in 1993 and was taken off the road shortly thereafter. It has now been deregistered and unused for 33 years, kept in dry and ventilated storage. No seized brakes, so it is easy to load for transport. Unfortunately, the underside has not been inspected, so expect some rust repair. The body is in fine condition considering its age and time in storage. Given the long period off the road, the odometer reading may possibly be correct. However, this cannot be guaranteed. We note that the image quality of certain photos of this car may be limited. These were sent to us by the owner.

Condition
-
Mechanical condition
No opportunity for a test drive or start-up, so we are unable to assess the condition. A relatively simple engine and gearbox that will likely need a thorough overhaul. As far as we can see, the car is complete in terms of its technical equipment, including gauges and other fittings.
-
Interior condition
Worn front seats, one of which has been replaced at some point over the years. Nice rear seat with decent carpets and headliner. Trim in poor condition. Expect a major interior restoration. Trunk and engine bay in decent driver condition.
-
Exterior condition
Relatively little rust in the body. Straight and clean sheet metal, although there are minor scratches, stone chips, and blemishes.
-
General condition
In our assessment, this is a fully restorable project. Relatively complete and with a short chain of ownership.
