Just with us after thirty years with one owner. this car has been well cared for. and in recent times has been fitted with a new cylinder head. new clutch. had the radiator re-cored. new leather to the front seats. and much more besides. The car runs nicely. described by the last owner as reliable. with a smooth and powerful engine. It is sound. smart and substantial. and is absolutely ideal for wedding hire use. being suitably spacious and painted in the ‘right' colours. Unusually for a limousine. the car is fitted with a sliding sunroof to the front compartment. and appealing features include a full set of 'Ace wheel discs. very nice P 100 headlights. long trumpet horns. etc. Ready to go.

Snippets: Camp Coffee & Builders
In 1936 GRM 60 was registered with James D. Paterson whose family were coffee merchants – it is said that they had been asked by some Gordon Highlanders to create a drink that did not need grinding or brewing & could be produced quickly and easily out in the field – the result was Camp Coffee – the world's 1 st instant coffee! The model on the bottle is reputed to be non-other than Major-General Sir Hector Mac Donald nicknamed “Fighting Mac” & knighted for his leadership during the Boer War. James and his brother Campbell were both keen yachtsmen – between them they owned some magnificent Mylne & Fife designed yachts - “Madrigal”. “Vanda”. “Mariella” & “Kelpie” (with Kelpie having been used to smuggle guns in 1914 into Ireland by Erskine Childers!).
It would appear that J D Paterson kept GRM 60 until after WWII & in 1947 the car was acquired by Gregor Grant (1913/1994) of Kilmarnock.
In 1929 Gregor Grant moved from Nethy Bridge to Kilmarnock and in 1935. aged just 24 he took over the construction firm of John Moulds Ltd. he later owned the Mar Lodge Hotel in Troon which was a magnificent building dating back to the later 1800 s.
G. Grant was also a Mason being a member of the Mother Kilwinning Lodge (Nr 0) which can be traced as dating back to the early 12 th Century.
