The "Flying" in the name came from the badge design and not, as you can imagine, from the performance of the 23bhp four-seater.

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.
