Current customer rating: current rating for this car(2.1) based on 243 votes
Very attractively proportioned. well constructed in a typical Barker manner. very sound. unmolested and appealing. this car has a lot going for it. Features include louvred bonnet. faux cane work to the rear part of the body. Ace wheel discs. etc. Just back from the USA. where it has been stored for a while. having prior to that been in France for many years. the car is now back home. Although the car is needing some cosmetic TLC. the engine runs very nicely. new tyres have been fitted recently. as has a new exhaust system and exhaust manifold. Offered re-commissioned. serviced. UK registered and MoT tested until September 2015. A good. honest car. which feels 'right'.

SALE AGREED

Snippets – The French Connection:

Delivered to Leslie Howard Marten OBE an underwriter of Lloyds. during WWI he was mentioned in despatches & awarded the French Croix de Guerre. Upon his death in September 1945 the car was inherited by his daughter Ella Leslie Hart. her husband was a scion of the construction family Robert Hart & Sons; in 1948 Robert Hart & Sons were the main contractors for the Olympic Stadium in Wembley. During the 1980s GUB54 was resident in France with Msr Bessiere - & in 1987 the car was an “extra” in the film “La Rumba” which starred Roger Hanin – brother-in-law of the French President Francois Mitterand (their wives were sisters). Both Harin & Mitterand. even though they were in the public eye managed to have “Secret families”- Francois a daughter & Roger a son! After France GUB54 was shipped to the USA with the inventor & entrepreneur Leslie Tassle. who had started his metal company “Lescoa” shortly after WWII & by his retirement in 1999 Lescoa had grown with over 1. 00 employees and a market value in excess of $220 million.
