Lot details Registration No: Un-Reg Chassis No: 59166 Mot Expiry: Exempt
Purchased by the present owner for £300 in 1967, 'MXF 565' was then rebuilt mechanically except for the worm drive back axle which showed no sign of wear. Used continuously for about eight years, including spending a year in Switzerland where it covered over 10,000 miles with no trouble except for slight overheating on the Alpine passes, the car was subsequently taken off the road in 1976 when Daimler ceased supplying spares. No longer practical as an every-day car, it was stored in the corner of a climate-controlled warehouse. Sadly, unknown to the owner it was moved at some stage to a shed outside. When recovered a few months ago, it was found to have deteriorated to its present state. Offered for restoration strictly as viewed, it is accompanied by its old logbook. The carburettors have been rebuilt and accompany the lot though not currently fitted to the car.
