Vehicle Details

AI Listing Summary

This 1961 406, a classic Gentleman's Express, presents well with a history dating back to the '70s. It boasts largely original interior, complete exterior trim, and a running engine, but requires attention to a cracked screen, faulty door latch, and subpar brakes.

Condition

The car has some cosmetic issues like a cracked screen and paint blemishes, and some mechanical issues like a driver's door that doesn't latch properly and brakes that aren't up to scratch. However, it's mostly complete and running, with a well-preserved interior and good exterior trim. Some reconditioning is needed to bring it to a prime example.

Our vendor has re-instated the removed trim, the interior remaining in largely good and original condition bar the front headres...
