This car was owned
by Mr. Willmott (father of Stephen
Willmott) from 1951 to 1959.
"My father bought privately in
Stenying, Sussex. The 3-litre had
a wide two-seater body (inside hand
brake) with a "dickey seat"
unfortunately the rain used to run
off the body and eventually rotted
the rear part of the body. It was
converted to a 4-seater circa 1954
used as daily transport plus a couple
of Eastbourne rallies. Sold to R.
Taylor in 1959 who replaced camshaft,
mudguards and windscreen. Sold to
car dealer Jack Bond circa 1961".
