Equipment

RHD. Discovered in derelict condition but complete about 10 years ago and impressively restored with excellent paint, interior, woodwork and nickel trim. In excellent condition throughout.

Market commentary

While its 8hp 942cc single cylinder engine gives it less performance than a self respecting riding lawnmower it does so with elegance and style. An eye catching old car bought for less than the cost of its restoration.
