Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1956 Ford Popular 103E, with only two previous owners, presents a mix of positives and negatives. While it boasts cosmetic appeal, upgraded electrics, and a stainless exhaust, it's currently a non-runner due to a timing issue, making it a project car needing mechanical work.
Condition
3
The car is listed as a non-runner and requiring mechanical attention, specifically a timing issue after a head gasket replacement. Cosmetically, it's described as being in 'smart condition inside and out' and has upgrades like 12-volt electrics and a stainless steel exhaust. However, the mechanical issue significantly impacts its overall condition, placing it in the 'Below Average' category due to requiring substantial reconditioning.

This Ford Popular 103E was registered on 1st March 1956 and its V5C records just two former keepers.
The first owner held onto the car for 25 years and the second for another 40.
It survives in smart condition inside and out, and has been upgraded with 12-volt electrics and flashing indicators for improved safety.
A stainless steel exhaust is fitted.
The car had an advisory-free MoT which expired in August.
The vendor tells us that it had been driving well until he recently changed the head gasket, at which point it developed what he believes is a timing problem that he has not been able to resolve.
As a result, the Popular is currently a non-runner and is being offered as a project requiring mechanical attention.
