"I have a poor photo black and white taken of this car when it was owned by
my father in 1952 or so. He told me he had bought it for GBP100 and thought he was
very clever when he sold it the following year for GBP112!
The registration number is easily seen.
I remember it as a Doctor's Coupe, we lived at that time on the Wye Valley in
Monmouthshire, UK. I understand it was at one time owned by Dorothy Paget, my
father mentioned that." |
