Lot details Registration No: CGV 450 Chassis No: E71A7239098 Mot Expiry: Exempt
Finished in Sage Green matched to Tan upholstery and Oatmeal coloured carpets, this venerable Ford is a highly original car, whose currently displayed 61,908 miles could very well be correct. Such iconic parts as the Bakelite dashboard, art deco instruments, marble-effect steering wheel and rear window blind are all in 'superb original order'. The engine bay is equally authentic and contains a host of period-correct features. The chassis and running gear are said to be 'very sound', the panel fit 'excellent throughout' and the tyres in good condition with plenty of tread. The paintwork was renewed some years ago and 'while not perfect, suits the car well'. There is light spotting on the brightwork. CGV 450 was last taxed in 2012 and is now being sold complete with Clayton under-dash heater, AA and Caravan Club badges and history file. A rare opportunity to acquire an unmolested classic British-made Ford of considerable character.
PLEASE NOTE: We have had this lot running at the sale. The engine showed good oil pressure from cold and ran smoothly when held at a fast idle. However, water began leaking from the area of the radiator after a short while. We are not mechanics or engineers but would suspect that there is a problem with the engine's cooling system and / or head gasket(s).
All successful bids must be paid in full by midday the day after the auction at the latest.
