Description
Interactive 360° Panorama This charming Nash was supplied new in 1958 to a Mrs Maude Coupe of St Annes on sea, Lancashire who must have been quite a flamboyant lady in the 1950s as this was not a car for a shrinking violet! In current ownership since 2016 who has spent circa £4,300 in bringing the car to a good useable standard that pleasingly has the correct interior with correct valve radio which works after warming up of course!! MOT tested even though exempt, this little car is ready to go and put a smile on everyone’s face and a perfect anecdote to the past 18 months.
