Lot details Registration No: SXU 40 Chassis No: SZB199 Mot Expiry: Exempt
Purchased by the vendor's father from H R Owen in October 1957 for £4,450, SXU 40 underwent a body restoration and repaint in the 1990s being finished in its original colours of Shell over Tudor Grey. The grey leather interior was refreshed, new grey carpet fitted and the chrome re-plated. Stored from the mid 1970s to the late 1980s, accompanying MoTs show only c.300 miles were covered from 1978 to 1998. Now displaying some 31,692 miles, we understand the engine was not overhauled at the time of work to the body and the fuel gauge and clock are inoperative. A one family owner car for all but one year of its life, the vendor advises a further c.2,600 miles have been covered since completion of the work and that invoices with the car total approximately £16,000. Accompanied by a buff logbook, purchase invoice, handbook, restoration photographs, assorted expired MoTs and Swansea V5. The last MoT expired in September 2013 and whilst the car is said to be in running order we understand further work may be required to renew its MoT.
