This smart Vauxhall 12/6 DY, affectionately known as Clarice, is believed to have stayed with its first owner until 1992, and has had only 2 registered keepers since then.

Its last 12 years have been spent stored in a garage, unused, until the vendor rescued the car a few months ago and treated it to a sensitive recommissioning.
