Description Twin-SUs; Preselect box; recent Steve White engine rebuild; recommissioned and running well - driven to the sale; nice and original; good door shuts and fit This 1,087cc four-cylinder Kestrel dates from January 1934 and comes in Special Series guise, fitted with twin SUs and a Preselecter gearbox.

It carries its original Coventry registration mark and its history can be traced back to 1972 when it was living in Scotland.

It appears to have covered just 4,000 miles since then.

Our vendor acquired it from a near neighbour who had owned it for four years and covered a whole four miles in it - what a waste.

Clearly the inactivity over a period of many years meant some considerable recommissioning needed doing which was duly undertaken.

Fortunately the body and trim remain nicely original and in lovely patinated order, the doors opening and closing nicely and fitting well - a must on these ash-framed saloons.
