Condition 

7

The car is described as being in fairly good condition in 1946 before its first transformation. After its rediscovery in 1991, it was built into an extremely capable tourer. The engine is described as very lively with excellent oil pressure. The gearbox shifts with ease and the brakes stop the car straight. The chassis handles road surfaces well and the steering is responsive. This indicates the car is in overall solid condition with minor reconditioning required.

These design touch points would permeate his work at the marque that bore his name for the next 12 years.

'W.O.', did nothing in half measure.
