Originally a Cockshoot Limousine. this car was very appropriately and professionally re-bodied in 1989 by Geoff Munton of Lincoln. the design being very true to the era. and very much looking the part as well as being very well constructed. Nicely appointed with good quality full wet weather gear including side screens and tonneau cover. etc. and very nicely trimmed in red leather. which has matured very appealingly over the last 25 years. Mechanically good. driving nicely. with light steering. comfortable suspension. etc. Benefiting from considerable work in the 1990s. after which the car was taken on trouble-free Continental tours. and care and attention since. The car comes with a substantial file documenting the building of the body. maintenance. repairs. etc. Currently undergoing some mechanical renovations. but offered. prepared. serviced and newly MoT tested.

Chassis No. GSK43. Reg No. NE 6271. £52. 00.
