Current customer rating: current rating for this car(2.1) based on 348 votes
An early 4¼. in good. sound condition. running and driving nicely. correct and attractive. with a neatly folding hood which drops below the waistline. giving a handsome and clean appearance. The deep red leather interior – although very useable – could do with some improvement. and the paintwork too is not great. but again. very useable. as is the whole car. An opportunity to acquire a decent drophead at a sensible price. Just completely re-wired in correct. cotton-covered cable. re-commissioned. fitted with a new stainless steel exhaust system and MoT tested until August 2013. Chassis No. B19GP. Reg No. CXU 304. £95. 00. Delivered to Mrs A Lindsay-Fynn. wife of Basil Mortimer Lindsay-Fynn (Kt 1982). Her father-in-law was Newenham (sometimes spelt Newnham) Wight Fynn (the Lindsay was the maiden name of N. W. Fynn's 2nd wife Annie Cecilia Victoria – his 1st wife was also named Annie!). N. W. Fynn's occupation was variously described as an “African Trader” & Merchant. During the 1800s there was an English trader & adventurer by the name of Henry Francis Fynn saved the life of the Zulu leader – Shaka; as a result of this H. F. Fynn was given unprecedented access to the Zulu people & his diary (1824/36) is acknowledged as being the best record of Shaka & the emergence of the Zulu nation. In December 1947 the name shown on the chassis card is William Reading Bufton of Widemarsh. Hereford; his company William Evans & Co was a manufactuer of cider & pectin; in 1946 WR Bufton's firm was taken over by Webbs (Aberbeeg) Ltd of which Sir Basil was a director. within Gwent archives are correspondence and deeds between Webbs & Bufton dating as far back at 1890 which shows the company's early business dealings. In 1951 B19GP was with another lady owner – Marjorie Wilkes Coote of Place Barton in Ashton. between 1320/1745 this property was the seat of the Chudleighs – during the war of the Roundheads Sir George Chudleigh began the war as a Parliamentarian but transferred his loyalty to the King.
