This car is a rare right hand drive and is being sold by its
third owner. It is a show stopper and attracts a lot of comments when it is driven. Included is the original sales papers of its purchase in Nice, France in September 1950. The paperwork shows its export in 1951 to Italy and
then in 1953 to New York, all by its original owner. The documents include
registration certificates and some maintenance receipts. The car was sold in
1982 to its second owner and when he became ill it was sold to me by Premier
Motorcars of Bonita Springs, Florida.
After purchase the car was
thoroughly inspected and a list was made of maintenance items to bring the car
up to safe and reliable standards.
The original oil filter, being a
non replaceable type was changed for a period look-alike but one that takes a
replaceable filter. All fluids were drained, inspected and refilled. All looked good with no contaminants. The points and coil
were removed and replaced with a Pertronix electronic ignition system and a New
Pertronix coil. The ignition wires were also replaced. The rear suspension was
completely rebuilt using all new rubber and overhauled shock absorbers. The
brakes were serviced and new brake shoes and cylinders installed. The instruments were removed and
sent to West Valley Instruments in California for inspection/overhaul and the
oil pressure gauge was replaced with an instrument that registers both oil
pressure and water temperature as in the later TDs. The original water
temperature indicator on top of the radiator fill was left in place. The instrument
panel was replaced with one made of African Tiger Wood and coated with an epoxy
finish. The car was completely rewired using a Moss Motors wire harness, a turn
signal system was installed and the generator was overhauled. The carburetters
were rebuilt and the fuel pump replaced. Receipts are available for all the work since I've had the car.
The car comes with a black vinyl
top, toneau cover and side curtains. Also included is the original tool kit and
owner's manual. The interior is black and looks like new.
The car is in excellent
condition and is a pleasure to drive.
Car can be picked up in person or seller will help arrange shipping.
