Description:

Description from The Vendor:

I purchased the car 8 years ago and since then it has not been driven except to test the brakes and while off the road the car has been stored in a dry garage. The car has had 4 new tyres and comes with the original buff logbook. The engine has been replaced with another 1200cc sports engine and the body has been fitted to a refurbished chassis. The car had a cellulose respray with spare paint shortly before I purchased it. Unfortunately, it does not have much history except the original logbook as mentioned before and some bills. The hood, upholstery and interior are very good and all instruments are working.

 

Auctioneer’s notes:

These cars are very rare and to have 2 in the same sale is remarkable.  The vendor has owned this car for 6 years and she even comes with a wicker picnic basket.  In the file, she has a buff log book, a photocopy of a complete A40 Service Manual plus invoices and a spare parts catalogue.  These car have alloy bodies built by Jensen Motor Company.  May be viewed, strictly by appointment.
