1955 2 Litre for sale in Somerset.

[3.5 Pints at the Bar]

A 2 door Saloon has been put up for sale in Somerset (trade). Registered 1955, but I believe is one of those actually constructed a little earlier, but delayed by the launch of the 4 door version. This car features non-original rear wheel spats. I used to correspond with its owner, and it appeared to be in very fine condition. I recall it had a non-standard new fuel supply system installed (I almost had a fit at that news, as I suspected a blocked fuel line, not a design fault!). So check that it runs okay on that system if you take it for a test run.

I notice that this car was auctioned prior to my above posting, on 6th April, for £11,500, by Charterhouse Auction.
   
   Meanwhile, there is a white 1953 Saloon for sale in Germany. I think that this is the same one sold in the UK in recent years. Then (with a new reg. number) was for sale for a long period by a classic car trader in the Netherlands (they did a Youtube advert at the time). Now with another reg. number, it's available again:

   There can't be many cars that come with spare head-gaskets as a major selling point! Looks nice though.
