A lovely Standard Flying 12. The car was my father in-laws and he used it regularly a few years ago at many historic shows and rallies and used it when Re-Enacting as a Home Guard vehicle. Unfortunately it has been parked in the garage for a few years and not been used. I have started the engine this weekend. just needing to clean the points and plugs and she ticks over nicely. Slight miss fire but I'm guessing this is due to the old petrol that was last put in some 6 years ago!Engine is smooth with no knocks. rattles or smoke. I started it on the handle this afternoon. 1/2 turn and she started easily! Transmission and clutch work well. Brakes work. however I would have all the drums off. give a good clean out and adjust accordingly. We have stacks of history for this car dating back to the 50's! Garage bills. letters. mot's insurance documents etc etc. This has to be one of the best documented Standards out there!I have taken a photo of some of the magazines. service books and paperwork the car will come with!Headlights are nice and bright and the trafficators work well. The horn works off a seperate button as the steering wheel one does not work. It has also had an electric fan fitted. to ensure on the hot (if we get any) days she can sit in traffic. I love the suicide door. sunroof and suitcase in the trunk! King of the Road Headlights. Tyres are a little perished but hold air. It has a spare in the boot with jack. starting handle etc. The paintwork has suffered while it has been laid up. The paint has micro blistered and small rust marks have appeared. These t cut out. but I have tried to show in a photograph the condition of the paint. Interior is good. seats could do with some leather care to soften. all in all a great little useable classic car that needs a little tlc and a fettle. use with paint as is after a good clean. or have her sprayed and looking like brand new!Due to the condition of the tyres. I suggest trailer away. The vehicle is tax and MOT exempt due to age. The battery does not go with the vehicle as I need this for my Land Rover. I can start and load onto trailer etc or bring your own battery to start!Cash on collection - Sold as SeenWe have the V5c and will be sad to see the old girl go!
