Description
Charismatic little Thirties-designed, four-seat Tourer in decent condition.
In recent years this car has formed part of a large collection and as such has received little or no use and an element of recommissioning is to be expected to return it to the road once again.
Your inspection pre-sale is welcomed and encouraged to appreciate the potential of this rarely offered motor car which is strictly sold as seen.
Technically these post-War models are not termed ‘Flying’ Standards as the name was dropped for these derivatives.
However, as the design is pre-war we have left 'Flying' in the title to distinguish it from 1950's examples In cream over chocolate with a newish soft top.
Factory rebuilt engine stamped 29/06/1955 History file Only appears to need a light recommission before returning to the road With its cute 'Noddy Car' looks, there would almost certainly be TV opportunities for this smart little classic
