Estimate: £75,000 - £90,000
Registration Number: 292 AXT
Chassis Number: S825261

Manufactured in 1960 the owner informs us the car was in the ownership of 3 owners from new until 1967 with the 4th owner having the car in his ownership up to 1977 upon which it was put into storage for 27 years until it was purchased for restoration in 2004.

Marque specialists Leaping Cats commenced the body and chassis restoration which included an engine overhaul with the cylinder head ported and gas flowed. An uprated oil pump, high torque starter motor, alternator, Borg and Beck clutch assembley as well as triple 2 inch SU carburettors providing that extra performance finishing off the engine. The interior was retrimmed which included two bucket seat backs which are supplied along with the original retrimmed items.

Since the completion of the restoration in 2007 only 4,885 miles had been completed when purchased by the current owner in 2010 and since his ownership only a further 300 miles have been added. Kept in a humidity controlled environment the vendor informs us the car is in excellent order throughout.

Finished in red with a black interior the car is accompanied with a large file containing the original handbook, V5, old MoT certificates and bills totalling over £50,000 for the exhaustive restoration as well as a full tool kit.

The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

What disease did Lucas succumb to?
