Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This Bullnose Oxford, a well-known vintage car, was restored in the 1970s with a 1926 body and engine modifications for enhanced performance. While it hasn't been actively used for three years and needs recommissioning, it's sensibly guided as an entry-level Vintage motorcar.

The Oxford received the larger 1,800cc 13.9hp unit with a 3-speed manual gearbox.
