Current customer rating: current rating for this car(2.05) based on 452 votes
An unusual and interesting car for at least two reasons: Firstly. the car remained with one family from new until 2004 – 70 years! Since then. the car has been with one owner. who has cared for the car very well. taking it on several rallies. including two Continental ones. and the car has been trouble free. performing nicely throughout. Secondly. the car has recently been repainted in its rather attractive and without doubt original colour. All-in-all a lovely car. slightly out of the ordinary. in good order and very appealing.

Chassis No. GHA16. Reg No. AXE 275. £35. 00.

Snippets: The Incognito Actress & Actor:

After a few years of ownership the first owner who was an engineer decided to give GHA16 to his wife. she was a musical comedy dancer/actress of some repute. The earliest note of her appearance on the stage is in 1921 in a Charles B. Cochran production “The League of Notions”. starring alongside the beautiful. wealthy & scandalous Hungarian-American twins better known as the Dolly Sisters (protégés of G. Selfridge). In 1926 after just 5 years on the stage she was immortalised on the Murray cigarettes cards alongside fellow artistes such as Mary Pickford. Ivor Novello. Harold Lloyd & Norma Shearer and in 1927 her portrait was painted by Bernard Fleetwood-Walker & shown in the RBSA Spring Exhibition. As an actress she was well known within the entertainment world for her menagerie which included Billy. her pet Budgerigar! The only time she took from the stage was between 1929 & 1935 in order to devote time to their son. In due course their son himself took to the stage with his first London appearance as a singer in Henry VII. he later emigrated to Canada where his acting career continued both on stage & TV. After returning to the UK in the 1960s he took over the role of being the voice of Virgil Tracy in Thunderbirds! And in 1977 he had a cameo appearance as Captain Forsyth in “The Spy Who Loved Me”.
