This car was originally purchase in Bakersfield, Ca. by the gentleman we purchased the car from. (picture attached as well as Paperwork). He bought the heap (lack of better words) , brought it home, inventoried what he needed, flew to the UK and bought everything to bring the car up to the standard it is today. We bought the car from him and have driven it lightly and stored it in the garage. We maintained the car and redid the finish on the wood about 3 yrs ago. We fought the desire to put a Sprite motor and a 5 speed in it and kept it stock except for Sprite Disc brakes on the front. There is a radio with cassette and external speakers that can be removed by taking screws out and tossing it if one wanted. For those not familiar with this British car it has tons of charm and was designed to be driven in the country roads of England not on California freeways. Everywhere we go we get a story about this car (not exact of course). My husband has 5 hot rods and the latest is a gorgeous 55 Chevy with a monster motor and lots of work done to it. My car gets more looks than his as it is cute and rare to find one in this shape. We looked up sold vehicles and found that in less shape than this $15,000 all the way up to $34,500 at an auction. This car is in fantastic shape but we decided that $20,000 was a fair price . We could have asked $25,000 so one could dicker but we are more a this is what we want family. I have loved this car for yrs and it took me a yr. to get the courage to sell it. I cannot drive it like I want so I am hoping someone will buy this car, love it like I do, and drive it.
