Description Few owners, the first for 46 years; huge history file; sympathetically restored and in wonderful condition throughout; driven 40 miles to the sale; find a better one! Supplied new by Righton & Bennett Ltd of Gosport in September 1957, this wonderful A35 Two-Door was originally bought by a Mr AR Kelleway of Portsmouth who was to keep it right up until 2003 during which time the car was registered as OTP 756.
He looked after the car religiously, the service book showing that it was serviced 11 times by the supplying dealer up to June 1959 by which time it had covered 11,163 miles and the book runs out of pages.
From then onwards it was serviced by Southern Garages of Cosham, the second service book containing another 26 entries up until December 1981 by which time it had covered 76,330 miles.
Invoices show that the engine was rebuilt in September 1980 at 72,715 miles with new pistons, bearings etc.
Mr Kelleway also took it to shows where it won various awards in the 1980s...
