1960 Professionally re-commissioned at great expense For Sale
Recently professionally re-commissioned at considerable expense. This has included brake overhaul - discs, pads, servo etc; new water pump, carburettor re-build, spark plugs, new fuel filler pipe, front wheel bearings, as well as fluids and filters all round.
The car was restored and repainted around 10 years ago and has travelled less than 1000 miles since - hence is being offered for sale. The restoration is of an exceptionally high standard and un-surprisingly, the body work still presents superbly. Panel fit, shut lines, door hinges are all outstanding. The chrome work is excellent, and the interior woodwork is blemish free.
Interior trim was not included in the restoration work however, and there is scope here for improvement. The carpet is original, but sadly too eager to give up its pile to the hoover, and will need replacing, as will the fabric on the bottom of the door cards. The seats however, while they need attention, have responded well to oiling, so further treatments and local repairs could be a satisfactory solution. Alternatively the new owner may consider that a re-trim of the front seats is required. The right hand bolster of the driver's seat has holed, and there are seam and panel splits on the front passenger seat squab.
The car starts willingly, pulls away smoothly, and drives very well on recent cross ply tyres, the gear box is smooth 2nd to 3rd particularly so, the overdrive works as it should. The recently overhauled braking system stops the car reassuringly well.
Individual front seats, original Britax inertia reel seat belts, original Huntingdon registration and original 'Ace' number plates all finish off a wonderfully original looking example of the model which many enthusiasts say combines the best of the early P4s (interior, switch gear etc,) with the later, more powerful engine.
The car is booked in for an MOT.
